[PATCH 4/5][next] uapi: net: arp: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Tue Oct 15 2024 - 20:32:57 EST


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

Address the following warnings by changing the type of the middle struct
members in a couple of composite structs, which are currently causing
trouble, from `struct sockaddr` to `struct sockaddr_legacy`. Note that
the latter struct doesn't contain a flexible-array member.

include/uapi/linux/if_arp.h:118:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/uapi/linux/if_arp.h:119:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/uapi/linux/if_arp.h:121:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/uapi/linux/if_arp.h:126:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/uapi/linux/if_arp.h:127:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

Also, update some related code, accordingly.

No binary differences are present after these changes.
