In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally read across neighboring array fields.

Without a flexible array, this looks like an attempt to perform a
memcpy() read beyond the end of the packet->mad.data array:

drivers/infiniband/core/user_mad.c:
	memcpy(packet->msg->mad, packet->mad.data, IB_MGMT_MAD_HDR);

Switch from [0] to [] to use the appropriately handled type for trailing
bytes.
