overflow.h: Add flex_array_size() helper
Add flex_array_size() helper for the calculation of the size, in bytes,
of a flexible array member contained within an enclosing structure.
Example of usage:
struct something {
size_t count;
struct foo items[];
};
struct something *instance;
instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, items, count), GFP_KERNEL);
instance->count = count;
memcpy(instance->items, src, flex_array_size(instance, items, instance->count));
The helper returns SIZE_MAX on overflow instead of wrapping around.
Additionally replaces parameter "n" with "count" in struct_size() helper
for greater clarity and unification.
