[PATCH][next] media: venus: hfi_cmds: Replace one-element array with flex-array member and use __counted_by

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva

Array `data` in `struct hfi_sfr` is being used as a fake flexible array
at run-time:

drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_venus.c:
1033 p = memchr(sfr->data, '\0', sfr->buf_size);
1034 /*
1035 * SFR isn't guaranteed to be NULL terminated since SYS_ERROR indicates
1036 * that Venus is in the process of crashing.
1037 */
1038 if (!p)
1039 sfr->data[sfr->buf_size - 1] = '\0';
1040
1041 dev_err_ratelimited(dev, "SFR message from FW: %s\n", sfr->data);

Fake flexible arrays are deprecated, and should be replaced by
flexible-array members. So, replace one-element array with a
flexible-array member in `struct hfi_sfr`.

While there, also annotate array `data` with __counted_by() to prepare
for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by
attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have
their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for
array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
functions).

This results in no differences in binary output.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and fixed
manually.
