wifi: ipw2x00: convert ipw_fw_error->elem to flexible array[]

The ipw_fw_error structure contains a payload[] flexible array as well as
two pointers to this array area, ->elem, and ->log. The total size of the
allocated structure is computed without use of the <linux/overflow.h>
macros.

There's no reason to keep both a payload[] and an extra pointer to both the
elem and log members. Convert the elem pointer member into the flexible
array member, removing payload.

Fix the allocation of the ipw_fw_error structure to use size_add(),
struct_size(), and array_size() to compute the allocation. This ensures
that any overflow saturates at SIZE_MAX rather than overflowing and
potentially allowing an undersized allocation.

Before the structure change, the layout of ipw_fw_error was:

struct ipw_fw_error {
        long unsigned int          jiffies;              /*     0     8 */
        u32                        status;               /*     8     4 */
        u32                        config;               /*    12     4 */
        u32                        elem_len;             /*    16     4 */
        u32                        log_len;              /*    20     4 */
        struct ipw_error_elem *    elem;                 /*    24     8 */
        struct ipw_event *         log;                  /*    32     8 */
        u8                         payload[];            /*    40     0 */

        /* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 8 */
        /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
};

After this change, the layout is now:

struct ipw_fw_error {
        long unsigned int          jiffies;              /*     0     8 */
        u32                        status;               /*     8     4 */
        u32                        config;               /*    12     4 */
        u32                        elem_len;             /*    16     4 */
        u32                        log_len;              /*    20     4 */
        struct ipw_event *         log;                  /*    24     8 */
        struct ipw_error_elem      elem[];               /*    32     0 */

        /* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */
        /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};

This saves a total of 8 bytes for every ipw_fw_error allocation, and
removes the risk of a potential overflow on the allocation.
