[PATCH V2] wcn36xx: use struct_size over open coded arithmetic

[PATCH V2] wcn36xx: use struct_size over open coded arithmetic

[cgel.zte]

From: "Minghao Chi (CGEL ZTE)" <chi.minghao@zte.com.cn>

Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member and make use
of the struct_size() helper in kmalloc(). For example:

struct wcn36xx_hal_ind_msg {
    struct list_head list;
    size_t msg_len;
    u8 msg[];
};

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.

change log:

v1: msg_ind = kmalloc(struct_size(*msg_ind, msg, len), GFP_ATOMIC);
v2: msg_ind = kmalloc(struct_size(msg_ind, msg, len), GFP_ATOMIC);

thanks
