Turn 'semadj' in 'struct sem_undo' into a flexible array.

The advantages are:
   - save the size of a pointer when the new undo structure is allocated
   - avoid some always ugly pointer arithmetic to get the address of semadj
   - avoid an indirection when the array is accessed

While at it, use struct_size() to compute the size of the new undo
structure.
