[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH][next] virtchnl: Replace one-element array in struct virtchnl_vsi_queue_config_info

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_vsi_queue_config_info instead of one-element array, and use the
flex_array_size() helper.
