Zero-length arrays as fake flexible arrays are deprecated and we are
moving towards adopting C99 flexible-array members instead.

Transform zero-length array into flexible-array member in struct
mlx4_en_rx_desc. 

Address the following warnings found with GCC-13 and
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 enabled:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/en_rx.c:88:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘struct mlx4_wqe_data_seg[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/en_rx.c:149:30: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘struct mlx4_wqe_data_seg[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/en_rx.c:127:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘struct mlx4_wqe_data_seg[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/en_rx.c:128:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘struct mlx4_wqe_data_seg[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/en_rx.c:129:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘struct mlx4_wqe_data_seg[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/en_rx.c:117:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘struct mlx4_wqe_data_seg[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/en_rx.c:119:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘struct mlx4_wqe_data_seg[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=]

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].
