remaining flexible-array conversions

Hi Linus,

Just wanted to ask you if you would agree on pulling the remaining
flexible-array conversions all at once, after they bake for a couple
of weeks in linux-next[1]

This is not a disruptive change and there are no code generation
differences. So, I think it would make better use of everyone's time
if you pull this treewide patch[2] from my tree (after sending you a
proper pull-request, of course) sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Notice that the treewide patch I mention here has been successfully
built (on top of v5.7-rc1) for multiple architectures (arm, arm64,
sparc, powerpc, ia64, s390, i386, nios2, c6x, xtensa, openrisc, mips,
parisc, x86_64, riscv, sh, sparc64) and 82 different configurations
with the help of the 0-day CI guys[3].

What do you think?
