Subject: [PATCH net-next 02/10] netfilter: ebtables: replace zero-length array members

From: "GONG, Ruiqi" <gongruiqi1@...wei.com>

As suggested by Kees[1], replace the old-style 0-element array members
of multiple structs in ebtables.h with modern C99 flexible array.

[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/5E8E0F9C-EE3F-4B0D-B827-DC47397E2A4A@kernel.org/

[ fw@...len.de:
  keep struct ebt_entry_target as-is, causes compiler warning:
  "variable sized type 'struct ebt_entry_target' not at the end of a
  struct or class is a GNU extension" ]
