[PATCH v2] fscrypt: Replace 1-element array with flexible array

[PATCH v2] fscrypt: Replace 1-element array with flexible array

[Kees Cook]

1-element arrays are deprecated and are being replaced with C99
flexible arrays[1].

As sizes were being calculated with the extra byte intentionally,
propagate the difference so there is no change in binary output.
