uapi: stddef.h: Fix __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY for C++
__DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY(T, member) macro expands to struct { struct {} __empty_member; T member[]; }; which is subtly wrong in C++ because sizeof(struct{}) is 1 not 0, changing UAPI structures layouts. This can be fixed by expanding to T member[]; Now g++ doesn't like "T member[]" either, throwing errors on the following code: struct S { union { T1 member1[]; T2 member2[]; }; }; or struct S { T member[]; }; Use "T member[0];" which seems to work and does the right thing wrt structure layout.
