Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] net: mana: Add flex array to struct mana_cfg_rx_steer_req_v2

The "struct mana_cfg_rx_steer_req_v2" uses a dynamically sized set of
trailing elements. Specifically, it uses a "mana_handle_t" array. So,
use the preferred way in the kernel declaring a flexible array [1].

At the same time, prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang
of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with
__counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for
strcpy/memcpy-family functions).

This is a previous step to refactor the two consumers of this structure.

 drivers/infiniband/hw/mana/qp.c
 drivers/net/ethernet/microsoft/mana/mana_en.c

The ultimate goal is to avoid the open-coded arithmetic in the memory
allocator functions [2] using the "struct_size" macro.
