Subject: [PATCH][next] RDMA/cm: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally.

Use the `struct_group_tagged()` helper to separate the flexible array
from the rest of the members in flexible `struct cm_work`, and avoid
embedding the flexible-array member in `struct cm_timewait_info`.

Also, use `container_of()` to retrieve a pointer to the flexible
structure.

So, with these changes, fix the following warning:
drivers/infiniband/core/cm.c:196:24: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

I didn't look, but does it make more sense to break out the path side
into its own type and avoid the struct_group_tagged? I seem to
remember only one thing used it.

I thought about that, but I'd have to change the parameter type of
`static int cm_timewait_handler(struct cm_work *work)`, and that would
imply also modifying the internals of function `cm_work_handler()` (and
then I didn't look much into it). So, the `struct_group_tagged()`
strategy is in general more cleaner and straightforward.

So let's try to invest in this direction first before we add obfuscation
with magic words to the code.

Thanks
