Replace the deprecated one-element array with a modern flexible array
member in the struct nvsp_1_message_send_receive_buffer_complete.

Use struct_size_t(,,1) instead of sizeof() to maintain the same size.

Compile-tested only.

Changes in v2:
- Replace sizeof() with struct_size_t(,,1) to maintain the same size
  after feedback from Roman Kisel (thanks!)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250116201635.47870-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/

Thanks!

The code change looks good to me now. I'll build a VM with this change
to clear my conscience (maybe the change triggers a compiler bug,
however unlikely that sounds) before replying with any tags. Likely next
Monday, but feel free to beat me to it, or perhaps, someone else will
tag this as reviewed by them and/or tested by them.

Doesn't look like a real bug fix, so would be good to get some signal
soon. The merge window is soon so we'll likely close the trees very
very soon ..

I would add a struct-specific macro or at least put the info into this
struct' doc, that "there is legacy API requirement to allocate at least
one element for the flex array member".

If the actual usage would be with more than 1 element UBSAN will
complain.

Perhaps add "No functional changes", too.

Worked for me.
