Subject: [PATCH][next] crypto/nx: Avoid potential
 -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally.

Use the `__struct_group()` helper to separate the flexible array
from the rest of the members in flexible `struct nx842_crypto_header`,
through tagged `struct nx842_crypto_header_hdr`, and avoid embedding
the flexible-array member in the middle of `struct nx842_crypto_ctx`.

Also, use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to
the flexible structure.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and
modified manually.
