[PATCH v2] lsm: Add a __counted_by() annotation to lsm_ctx.ctx

From: Mark Brown
Date: Fri Dec 22 2023 - 09:54:48 EST


The ctx in struct lsm_ctx is an array of size ctx_len, tell the compiler
about this using __counted_by() where supported to improve the ability to
detect overflow issues.

isn't otherwise pulled in.
