Gustavo A. R. Silva 63a8bf8556 netns: Replace zero-length array with DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper
Zero-length arrays are deprecated and we are moving towards adopting
C99 flexible-array members, instead. So, replace zero-length arrays
declarations in anonymous union with the new DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY()
helper macro.

This helper allows for flexible-array members in unions.

/*
* Generic net pointers are to be used by modules to put some private
* stuff on the struct net without explicit struct net modification
*
* The rules are simple:
* 1. set pernet_operations->id. After register_pernet_device you
* will have the id of your private pointer.
* 2. set pernet_operations->size to have the code allocate and free
* a private structure pointed to from struct net.
* 3. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
* 4. do not try to have any private reference on the net_generic object.
*
* After accomplishing all of the above, the private pointer can be
* accessed with the net_generic() call.
