Subject: [PATCH] [NFS] Use a zero sized array for raw field in struct fid

The raw field's size can vary so we use a zero sized array since
gcc will not allow a variable sized array inside a union. This
has been tested with ext3 and gfs2 and relates to the bug
report: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/24/374 and discussion
