[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH][next] iavf: Replace one-element array in struct virtchnl_vlan_filter_list

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
virtchnl_vlan_filter_list instead of one-element array, and use the
struct_size() and flex_array_size() helpers.
