Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] net: openvswitch: Use struct_size()

Use struct_size() instead of hand writing it.
This is less verbose and more robust.

v2: No change

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/8be59c9e06fca8eff2f264abb4c2f74db0b19a9e.1696156198.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr/


This is IMHO more readable, even if not perfect.

However (untested):
+	new = kzalloc(size_add(struct_size(new, masks, size),
			       size_mul(sizeof(u64), size)), GFP_KERNEL);
looks completely unreadable to me.
