Subject: [PATCH v2] hv: hyperv.h: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member

One-element and zero-length arrays are deprecated. Replace one-element

member. This change fixes below warning:

With this change the structure size is reduced by 8 bytes, below is the
pahole output.

struct vmtransfer_page_packet_header {
	struct vmpacket_descriptor d;                    /*     0    16 */
	u16                        xfer_pageset_id;      /*    16     2 */
	u8                         sender_owns_set;      /*    18     1 */
	u8                         reserved;             /*    19     1 */
	u32                        range_cnt;            /*    20     4 */
	struct vmtransfer_page_range ranges[];           /*    24     0 */

	/* size: 24, cachelines: 1, members: 6 */
	/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};

The validation code in the netvsc driver is affected by changing the
struct size, but the effects have been examined and have been determined
to be appropriate.
