KVM: x86: Use __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for UAPI structures with VLAs
[ Upstream commit 2619da73bb2f10d88f7e1087125c40144fdf0987 ]
Commit 94dfc73e7cf4 ("treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with
flexible-array members") broke the userspace API for C++.
These structures ending in VLAs are typically a *header*, which can be
followed by an arbitrary number of entries. Userspace typically creates
a larger structure with some non-zero number of entries, for example in
QEMU's kvm_arch_get_supported_msr_feature():
struct {
struct kvm_msrs info;
struct kvm_msr_entry entries[1];
} msr_data = {};
While that works in C, it fails in C++ with an error like:
flexible array member 'kvm_msrs::entries' not at end of 'struct msr_data'
Fix this by using __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for the VLA, which uses [0]
for C++ compilation.
