Subject: [GIT PULL] pid: use flex array

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */
This contains Kees' work to make struct upid in struct pid a proper
flexible array and thus gets rid of a bunch of syzbot UBSAN warnings.

---

Sorry for sending this one later than the others.
It's pretty minimal though.

/* Testing */
clang: Ubuntu clang version 15.0.7
gcc: (Ubuntu 12.2.0-3ubuntu1) 12.2.0

All patches are based on v6.4-rc2 and have been sitting in linux-next.
No build failures or warnings were observed. All old and new tests in
selftests, and LTP pass without regressions.

/* Conflicts */
At the time of creating this PR no merge conflicts were reported from
linux-next and no merge conflicts showed up doing a test-merge with
current mainline.

The following changes since commit f1fcbaa18b28dec10281551dfe6ed3a3ed80e3d6:
