Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 5/5] net/i40e: Replace 0-length array with flexible array

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1]. Replace struct i40e_lump_tracking's
"list" 0-length array with a flexible array. Detected with GCC 13,
using -fstrict-flex-arrays=3:

In function 'i40e_put_lump',
    inlined from 'i40e_clear_interrupt_scheme' at drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c:5145:2:
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c:278:27: warning: array subscript <unknown> is outside array bounds of 'u16[0]' {aka 'short unsigned int[]'} [-Warray-bounds=]
  278 |                 pile->list[i] = 0;
      |                 ~~~~~~~~~~^~~
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.h: In function 'i40e_clear_interrupt_scheme':
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.h:179:13: note: while referencing 'list'
  179 |         u16 list[0];
      |             ^~~~
