Subject: [PATCH V2] net/802: 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 garp_attr {
    struct rb_node            node;
    enum garp_applicant_state    state;
    u8                type;
    u8                dlen;
    unsigned char            data[];
};

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