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

Use the new TRAILING_OVERLAP() helper to fix the following warning:

21 drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_verbs.h:271:33: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

This helper creates a union between a flexible-array member (FAM) and a
set of MEMBERS that would otherwise follow it.

This overlays the trailing MEMBER struct ib_sge sge[RXE_MAX_SGE]; onto
the FAM struct rxe_recv_wqe::dma.sge, while keeping the FAM and the
start of MEMBER aligned.

The static_assert() ensures this alignment remains, and it's
intentionally placed inmediately after the related structure --no
blank line in between.

Lastly, move the conflicting declaration struct rxe_resp_info resp;
to the end of the corresponding structure.

V2->V3: Replace struct ib_sge with struct rxe_sge

What are you doing?

Because struct rxe_sge differs from struct ib_sge, I aligned it to use the same structure.

You're making a mess of this whole thing. Please, don't make changes
to my patches on your own.
