Hi all,

Friendly ping: who can take this, please? :)

Thanks!

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally.

There is currently an object (`hdr)` in `struct ima_max_digest_data`
that contains a flexible structure (`struct ima_digest_data`):

struct ima_max_digest_data {
struct ima_digest_data hdr;
u8 digest[HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE];
} __packed;

So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the
middle of another struct, we use the `struct_group_tagged()` helper to
separate the flexible array from the rest of the members in the flexible
structure:

struct ima_digest_data {
struct_group_tagged(ima_digest_data_hdr, hdr,

... the rest of the members

);
u8 digest[];
} __packed;

With the change described above, we can now declare an object of the
type of the tagged struct, without embedding the flexible array in the
middle of another struct:

struct ima_max_digest_data {
struct ima_digest_data_hdr hdr;
u8 digest[HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE];
} __packed;

We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to
the flexible structure.

So, with these changes, fix the following warnings:

security/integrity/evm/evm.h:45:32: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
security/integrity/evm/evm.h:45:32: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
security/integrity/evm/evm.h:45:32: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
