Subject: [PATCH V2] wcn36xx: use struct_size over open coded arithmetic

From: "Minghao Chi (CGEL ZTE)" <chi.minghao@....com.cn>

Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member and make use
of the struct_size() helper in kmalloc(). For example:

struct wcn36xx_hal_ind_msg {
    struct list_head list;
    size_t msg_len;
    u8 msg[];
};

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.
