struct_size() works exactly as expected in this case. :)
Please, see:

include/linux/overflow.h:314:
314 #define struct_size(p, member, count)                                   \
315         __ab_c_size(count,                                              \
316                     sizeof(*(p)->member) + __must_be_array((p)->member),\
317                     sizeof(*(p)))
318

Thanks
