Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: x86: Replace 0-length arrays with flexible arrays

Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1]. Replace struct kvm_nested_state's
"data" union 0-length arrays with flexible arrays. (How are the
sizes of these arrays verified?) Detected with GCC 13, using
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3:

arch/x86/kvm/svm/nested.c: In function 'svm_get_nested_state':
arch/x86/kvm/svm/nested.c:1536:17: error: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of 'struct kvm_svm_nested_state_data[0]' [-Werror=array-bounds=]
 1536 |                 &user_kvm_nested_state->data.svm[0];
      |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from include/uapi/linux/kvm.h:15,
                 from include/linux/kvm_host.h:40,
                 from arch/x86/kvm/svm/nested.c:18:
arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h:511:50: note: while referencing 'svm'
