Subject: [PATCH] mlxsw: spectrum_router: Replace 0-length array with flexible array

Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1]. Replace struct
mlxsw_sp_nexthop_group_info's "nexthops" 0-length array with a flexible
array. Detected with GCC 13, using -fstrict-flex-arrays=3:

drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_router.c: In function 'mlxsw_sp_nexthop_group_hash_obj':
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_router.c:3278:38: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'struct mlxsw_sp_nexthop[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
 3278 |                         val ^= jhash(&nh->ifindex, sizeof(nh->ifindex), seed);
      |                                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_router.c:2954:33: note: while referencing 'nexthops'
 2954 |         struct mlxsw_sp_nexthop nexthops[0];
      |                                 ^~~~~~~~
