Subject: [PATCH][next] ixgbe: Fix out-bounds warning in
 ixgbe_host_interface_command()

Replace union with a couple of pointers in order to fix the following
out-of-bounds warning:

  CC [M]  drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.o
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c: In function ‘ixgbe_host_interface_command’:
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c:3729:13: warning: array subscript 1 is above array bounds of ‘u32[1]’ {aka ‘unsigned int[1]’} [-Warray-bounds]
 3729 |   bp->u32arr[bi] = IXGBE_READ_REG_ARRAY(hw, IXGBE_FLEX_MNG, bi);
      |   ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c:3682:7: note: while referencing ‘u32arr’
 3682 |   u32 u32arr[1];
      |       ^~~~~~

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds.
