Subject: [RESEND PATCH] ext4: Annotate struct fname with __counted_by()

Add the __counted_by compiler attribute to the flexible array member
name to improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Inline and use struct_size() to calculate the number of bytes to
allocate for new_fn and remove the local variable len.
