Add the __counted_by compiler attribute to the flexible array member
name to improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

By the way, in general, you don't need to resend patches unless you
need to rebase them to fix patch conflicts; I track requested patches
using patchwork, and I tend to process and review patches in batches.

If you are concerned that I might have missed a patch, feel free to
reply to the original patch with a ping.  I'll see it in my inbox, and
even if it had gotten lost in my inbox, I can find the original patch
using lore.kernel.org or patchwork.

Thanks!


Best regards,
