There are three changes made here, and I suspect it might make sense to
split them up.

In a quick look, I see "struct fc_fdmi_attr_entry" has a sizeof() call
against it, so it's not clear if it's safe to switch it to a flexible
array without other changes.

The change to struct fs_fdmi_attrs looks okay, since it appears to be
used only in casts, but it might make sense to use diffoscope on the
changed .o files to validate nothing weird has happened.

For struct fc_dmi_rpl, as long as "numport" is always set/validated to
1, I think this change is fine.
