In an effort to annotate all flexible array members with their run-time size information, the "element_count" attribute is being introduced by Clang[1] and GCC[2] in future releases. This annotation will provide the CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE features the ability to perform run-time bounds checking on otherwise unknown-size flexible arrays. Even though the attribute is under development, we can start the annotation process in the kernel. This requires defining a macro for it, even if we have to change the name of the actual attribute later. Since it is likely that this attribute may change its name to "counted_by" in the future (to better align with a future total bytes "sized_by" attribute), name the wrapper macro "__counted_by", which also reads more clearly (and concisely) in structure definitions.
