Subject: [PATCH] mux: Convert mux_control_ops to a flex array member in mux_chip

Convert mux_control_ops to a flexible array member at the end of the
mux_chip struct and add the __counted_by() compiler attribute to
improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Use struct_size() to calculate the number of bytes to allocate for a new
mux chip and to remove the following Coccinelle/coccicheck warning:

  WARNING: Use struct_size

Use size_add() to safely add any extra bytes.

Compile-tested only.
