The sparc mdesc code does pointer games with 'struct mdesc_hdr', but
didn't describe to the compiler how that header is then followed by the
data that the header describes.
As a result, gcc is now unhappy since it does stricter pointer range
tracking, and doesn't understand about how these things work. This
results in various errors like:
arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c: In function ‘mdesc_node_by_name’:
arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c:647:22: error: ‘strcmp’ reading 1 or more bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
647 | if (!strcmp(names + ep[ret].name_offset, name))
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
which are easily avoided by just describing 'struct mdesc_hdr' better,
and making the node_block() helper function look into that unsized
data[] that follows the header.
This makes the sparc64 build happy again at least for my cross-compiler
version (gcc version 11.2.1).
