-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally. So, we are deprecating flexible-array
members in the middle of another structure.

There is currently an object (`header`) in `struct nx842_crypto_ctx`
that contains a flexible structure (`struct nx842_crypto_header`):

struct nx842_crypto_ctx {
	...
        struct nx842_crypto_header header;
        struct nx842_crypto_header_group group[NX842_CRYPTO_GROUP_MAX];
	...
};

So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the
middle of another struct, we use the `struct_group_tagged()` helper to
separate the flexible array from the rest of the members in the flexible
structure:

struct nx842_crypto_header {
	struct_group_tagged(nx842_crypto_header_hdr, hdr,

		... the rest of the members

	);
        struct nx842_crypto_header_group group[];
} __packed;

With the change described above, we can now declare an object of the
type of the tagged struct, without embedding the flexible array in the
middle of another struct:

struct nx842_crypto_ctx {
	...
        struct nx842_crypto_header_hdr header;
        struct nx842_crypto_header_group group[NX842_CRYPTO_GROUP_MAX];
	...
 } __packed;

We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to
the flexible structure, through which we can access the flexible
array if needed.

So, with these changes, fix the following warning:

In file included from drivers/crypto/nx/nx-842.c:55:
drivers/crypto/nx/nx-842.h:174:36: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
  174 |         struct nx842_crypto_header header;
      |                                    ^~~~~~
