-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally.

There are currently a couple of objects in `struct smc_clc_msg_proposal_area`
that contain a couple of flexible structures:

struct smc_clc_msg_proposal_area {
	...
	struct smc_clc_v2_extension             pclc_v2_ext;
	...
	struct smc_clc_smcd_v2_extension        pclc_smcd_v2_ext;
	...
};

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

struct smc_clc_smcd_v2_extension {
        struct_group_tagged(smc_clc_smcd_v2_extension_fixed, fixed,
                            u8 system_eid[SMC_MAX_EID_LEN];
                            u8 reserved[16];
        );
        struct smc_clc_smcd_gid_chid gidchid[];
};

With the change described above, we now declare objects of the type of
the tagged struct without embedding flexible arrays in the middle of
another struct:

struct smc_clc_msg_proposal_area {
        ...
        struct smc_clc_v2_extension_fixed	pclc_v2_ext;
        ...
        struct smc_clc_smcd_v2_extension_fixed	pclc_smcd_v2_ext;
        ...
};

We also use `container_of()` when we need to retrieve a pointer to the
flexible structures.

So, with these changes, fix the following warnings:
