lib/stackdepot.c: replace one-element array with flexible-array member

Patch series "lib/stackdepot.c: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member".

This series aims to replace a one-element array with a flexible-array
member.  Also, make use of the struct_size(), flexible_array_size() and
array_size() helpers.

This patch (of 3):

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].

Refactor the code according to the use of a flexible-array member in
struct stack_record, instead of a one-element array, and use the
struct_size() helper to calculate the size for the allocation.
