flexible-array member convertion patches for 5.7-rc5

Hi Linus,

Please, pull the following patch that reverts changes in include/uapi/

These structures can get embedded in other structures in user-space
and cause all sorts of warnings and problems[1]. So, we better don't take
any chances and keep the zero-length arrays in place for now.

Thanks
