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.
