Subject: [PATCH v2][next] Bluetooth: Avoid a couple dozen
 -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Use the __struct_group() helper to fix 31 instances of the following
type of warnings:

30 net/bluetooth/mgmt_config.c:16:33: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
1 net/bluetooth/mgmt_config.c:22:33: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavoars@...nel.org>
---
Changes in v2:
 - Use __struct_group() instead of TRAILING_OVERLAP().

v1:
 - Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hardening/aLSCu8U62Hve7Dau@kspp/
