David Rientjes 45b588d6e5 flex_array: introduce DEFINE_FLEX_ARRAY
FLEX_ARRAY_INIT(element_size, total_nr_elements) cannot determine if
either parameter is valid, so flex arrays which are statically allocated
with this interface can easily become corrupted or reference beyond its
allocated memory.

This removes FLEX_ARRAY_INIT() as a struct flex_array initializer since no
initializer may perform the required checking.  Instead, the array is now
defined with a new interface:

	DEFINE_FLEX_ARRAY(name, element_size, total_nr_elements)

This may be prefixed with `static' for file scope.

This interface includes compile-time checking of the parameters to ensure
they are valid.  Since the validity of both element_size and
total_nr_elements depend on FLEX_ARRAY_BASE_SIZE and FLEX_ARRAY_PART_SIZE,
the kernel build will fail if either of these predefined values changes
such that the array parameters are no longer valid.

Since BUILD_BUG_ON() requires compile time constants, several of the
static inline functions that were once local to lib/flex_array.c had to be
moved to include/linux/flex_array.h.
