HID: hyperv: make pointer arithmetics understandable for FORTIFY_SOURCE

Commit 83df7b5fa6 ("HID: hyperv: add KUnit coverage for device info
bounds") introduced this piece of code

	report = ((u8 *)&info->hid_descriptor) + info->hid_descriptor.bLength;
	memset(report, 0x42, 4);

to populate the report, making use of the fact that the report
&info->hid_descriptor points to a struct hid_descriptor (which is a fixed-size
struct).

GCC's FORTIFY_SOURCE infer the object size from that specific struct field
rather than the outer dynamically allocated info buffer. As a result, writing
past sizeof(struct hid_descriptor) triggers the __write_overflow_field warning.

Calculate the pointer offset using info directly, so the compiler evaluates the
memory bounds against the allocated flexible layout of struct
synthhid_device_info instead of the nested struct.
