[PATCH] fscrypt: Replace 1-element array with flexible array

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon May 22 2023 - 17:39:37 EST


1-element arrays are deprecated, and are being replaced with C99
flexible arrays[1]. In the future, we can add annotations for the
flexible array member "encrypted_path" to have a size determined
by the "len" member.

As sizes were being calculated with the extra byte intentionally,
propagate the difference so there is no change in binary output.
