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.
