Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version,
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes or integer overflows that,
in the worst scenario, could lead to heap overflows.

Also, address the following sparse warnings:
drivers/iio/buffer/industrialio-hw-consumer.c:63:23: warning: using sizeof on a flexible structure

Looks good to me.

Good thing to tidy up, but I'm a little curious why I'm not
seeing these reports with latest sparse?
Ah. Found it via the report linked
CF='-Wflexible-array-sizeof'

Probably worth mentioned that in the patch descriptions. I've added it
to this one. 

I'm still setting the sparse report even with this patch.

What am I missing?
