x86/uv/time: Use a flexible array in struct uv_rtc_timer_head
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].
struct uv_rtc_timer_head contains a one-element array cpu[1]. Switch it to a flexible array and use the struct_size() helper to calculate the allocation size. Also, save some heap space in the process[3].
