Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: ioam: Replace 0-length array with flexible array

Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1]. Replace struct ioam6_trace_hdr's
"data" 0-length array with a flexible array. Detected with GCC 13,
using -fstrict-flex-arrays=3:

net/ipv6/ioam6_iptunnel.c: In function 'ioam6_build_state':
net/ipv6/ioam6_iptunnel.c:194:37: warning: array subscript <unknown> is outside array bounds of '__u8[0]' {aka 'unsigned char[]'} [-Warray-bounds=]
194 | tuninfo->traceh.data[trace->remlen * 4] = IPV6_TLV_PADN;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from include/linux/ioam6.h:11,
from net/ipv6/ioam6_iptunnel.c:13:
include/uapi/linux/ioam6.h:130:17: note: while referencing 'data'
130 | __u8 data[0];
| ^~~~
