Subject: [PATCH][next] staging: r8188eu: Replace zero-length array with
 flexible-array member

One-element and zero-length arrays are deprecated and should be
replaced with flexible-array members[1].

Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member and make use
of the struct_size() helper in kmalloc().
