One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible
array members instead. So, replace one-element array with flexible-array
member in struct iavf_qvlist_info, and refactor the rest of the code,
accordingly.

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].

The problem is this mirrors the virtchnl struct 
(virtchnl_rdma_qvlist_info) so that structure needs to change as well... 
However, this goes back to the interface that virtchnl provides between 
PF and VF [1].

I think removing the iavf structure and directly using the virtchnl one 
would make sense. We'd need to adjust virtchnl and follow Kees' 
suggestion [2].

Note that at the time I suggested "[0]", but it should have been
"[]". But, yes, Keeping the "over allocation" is fine since it's a
hardware ABI.

Alternatively, it could be defined with a union to keep all the sizes
the same:

 struct iavf_qvlist_info {
 	u32 num_vectors;
-	struct iavf_qv_info qv_info[1];
+	union {
+		struct iavf_qv_info single_qv_info;
+		DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY(struct iavf_qv_info, qv_info)
+	};
 };
