It's not really interpreted as an array, it's a mandatory single-entry "array".
if (copy_from_user(vmcs12, user_vmx_nested_state->vmcs12, sizeof(*vmcs12))) return -EFAULT;

I think I'd actually prefer the "as 0 bytes" comment. The important part is that the size of "data" be zero, how that happens is immaterial.
