[PATCH] gpiolib: annotate struct acpi_gpio_mapping with __counted_by_ptr

[Bill Wendling]

The 'data' pointer field in 'struct acpi_gpio_mapping' is associated
with the 'size' field, which represents the number of elements of
type 'struct acpi_gpio_params' allocated for 'data'.

To improve bounds checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, annotate 'data' with the __counted_by_ptr
attribute.

Analysis of allocation, assignment, and access points shows that the
pointer is never accessed before the count is set, which guarantees that
this annotation is safe and will not cause runtime panics or
false-positive bounds checks.
