cifs: Convert struct fealist away from 1-element array
The kernel is globally removing the ambiguous 0-length and 1-element arrays in favor of flexible arrays, so that we can gain both compile-time and run-time array bounds checking[1]. While struct fealist is defined as a "fake" flexible array (via a 1-element array), it is only used for examination of the first array element. Walking the list is performed separately, so there is no reason to treat the "list" member of struct fealist as anything other than a single entry. Adjust the struct and code to match. Additionally, struct fea uses the "name" member either as a dynamic string, or is manually calculated from the start of the struct. Redefine the member as a flexible array. No machine code output differences are produced after these changes.
