Fix the following out-of-bounds error (caught with -Warray-bounds=2):
drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_wlan_util.c: In function ‘HT_caps_handler’:
drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_wlan_util.c:719:54: error: array subscript 2 is above array bounds of ‘u8[1]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[1]’} [-Werror=array-bounds]

by transforming one-element array into a flexible-array member in
struct ndis_802_11_var_ie
This is part of the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds.

I really hate the subject because it says there was an out-of-bounds
error and that's a serious thing, when in the best case scenario this
patch has no effect on run time.
