    virtchnl: fix fake 1-elem arrays in structs allocated as `nents + 1` - 1 · dd2e84bb
    Alexander Lobakin authored
    The two most problematic virtchnl structures are virtchnl_rss_key and
    virtchnl_rss_lut. Their "flex" arrays have the type of u8, thus, when
    allocating / checking, the actual size is calculated as `sizeof +
    nents - 1 byte`. But their sizeof() is not 1 byte larger than the size
    of such structure with proper flex array, it's two bytes larger due to
    the padding. That said, their size is always 1 byte larger unless
    there are no tail elements -- then it's +2 bytes.
    Add virtchnl_struct_size() macro which will handle this case (and later
    other cases as well). Make its calling conv the same as we call
    struct_size() to allow it to be drop-in, even though it's unlikely to
    become possible to switch to generic API. The macro will calculate a
    proper size of a structure with a flex array at the end, so that it
    becomes transparent for the compilers, but add the difference from the
    old values, so that the real size of sorta-ABI-messages doesn't change.
    Use it on the allocation side in IAVF and the receiving side (defined
    as static inline in virtchnl.h) for the mentioned two structures.
