Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] net: openvswitch: Annotate struct mask_array with __counted_byUse struct_size()

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by
attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have
their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS
(for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
functions).

This patch is part of a work done in parallel of what is currently worked
on by Kees Cook.

My patches are only related to corner cases that do NOT match the
semantic of his Coccinelle script[1].

In this case, in tbl_mask_array_alloc(), several things are allocated with
a single allocation. Then, some pointer arithmetic computes the address of
the memory after the flex-array.
