There's already an assertion that the field in struct_size() is an
array:
$ grepc struct_size include/
include/linux/overflow.h:291:
#define struct_size(p, member, count) \
__builtin_choose_expr(__is_constexpr(count), \
sizeof(*(p)) + flex_array_size(p, member, count), \
size_add(sizeof(*(p)), flex_array_size(p, member, count)))
$ grepc flex_array_size include/
include/linux/overflow.h:275:
#define flex_array_size(p, member, count) \
__builtin_choose_expr(__is_constexpr(count), \
(count) * sizeof(*(p)->member) + __must_be_array((p)->member), \
size_mul(count, sizeof(*(p)->member) + __must_be_array((p)->member)))
Notice the must_be_array() there.

I did add a must_be_zero_sizeof() assertion to my implementation of
sizeof_fam0(), so I think that's a reasonable assertion that it's
really a FAM. You can still add a zero-length array in the middle
of a struct and pass those two assertions, but it's unlikely.

I'm thinking now that you can plug an assertion that offsetof_fam()
is >= sizeof(struct) - alignof(struct). That should make it even
harder to pass all the assertions without really having the field at
the end. A [0] at the end of a structure would still pass all those
assertions, but linters probably catch those. So I think it's a
pretty robust assertion.
