Subject: [PATCH][next] iommufd/iommufd_private.h: Avoid
 -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Move the conflicting declaration to the end of the corresponding
structure. Notice that struct iommufd_vevent is a flexible
structure, this is a structure that contains a flexible-array
member.

Fix the following warning:

drivers/iommu/iommufd/iommufd_private.h:621:31: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
