[PATCH 1/3][next] lib/stackdepot.c: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Refactor the code according to the use of a flexible-array member in
struct stack_record, instead of a one-element array, and use the
struct_size() helper to calculate the size for the allocation.
