[PATCH v2] io_uring: Replace 0-length array with flexible array

[Kees Cook]

Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1]. Replace struct io_uring_buf_ring's
"bufs" with a flexible array member. (How is the size of this array
verified?) Detected with GCC 13, using -fstrict-flex-arrays=3:

In function 'io_ring_buffer_select',
    inlined from 'io_buffer_select' at io_uring/kbuf.c:183:10:
io_uring/kbuf.c:141:23: warning: array subscript 255 is outside the bounds of an interior zero-length array 'struct io_uring_buf[0]' [-Wzero-length-bounds]
  141 |                 buf = &br->bufs[head];
      |                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

v2: use helper since these flex arrays are in a union.
