One-element arrays as fake flexible arrays are deprecated, and we are
moving towards adopting C99 flexible-array members instead.

Fix the following error seen under GCC-13 and -fstrict-flex-arrays=3:
In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’,
    inlined from ‘_append_tdma’ at drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/coex.c:1579:3:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:583:25: error: call to ‘__write_overflow_field’ declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]
  583 |                         __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
      |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].

This results in no differences in binary output.

Oh that's great! What a coincidence. :)

Thanks for letting me know.
