Subject: [PATCH v4] ext4: Annotate struct ext4_xattr_inode_array with __counted_by()

Add the __counted_by compiler attribute to the flexible array member
inodes to improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Remove the now obsolete comment on the count field.

In ext4_expand_inode_array(), use struct_size() instead of offsetof()
and remove the local variable count. Increment the count field before
adding a new inode to the inodes array.

Compile-tested only.

Changes in v2:
- Adjust ext4_expand_inode_array() as suggested by Gustavo A. R. Silva
- Use struct_size() and struct_size_t() instead of offsetof()
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20240729110454.346918-3-thorsten.blum@toblux.com/

Changes in v3:
- Use struct_size() instead of struct_size_t() as suggested by Kees Cook
- Remove the local variable count as suggested by Gustavo A. R. Silva
- Increment count before adding a new inode as suggested by Gustavo
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20240730172301.231867-4-thorsten.blum@toblux.com/

Changes in v4:

  struct as suggested by Gustavo
