[ Upstream commit d92b90f9a54d9300a6e883258e79f36dab53bfae ]
Replace the fake VLA at end of the vbva_mouse_pointer_shape shape with
a real VLA to fix a "memcpy: detected field-spanning write error" warning:
[ 13.319813] memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 16896) of single field "p->data" at drivers/gpu/drm/vboxvideo/hgsmi_base.c:154 (size 4)
[ 13.319841] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1105 at drivers/gpu/drm/vboxvideo/hgsmi_base.c:154 hgsmi_update_pointer_shape+0x192/0x1c0 [vboxvideo]
[ 13.320038] Call Trace:
[ 13.320173] hgsmi_update_pointer_shape [vboxvideo]
[ 13.320184] vbox_cursor_atomic_update [vboxvideo]
Note as mentioned in the added comment it seems the original length
calculation for the allocated and send hgsmi buffer is 4 bytes too large.
Changing this is not the goal of this patch, so this behavior is kept.
