There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].

This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch)

@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@

struct S {
  ...
  T1 member;
  T2 array[
- 0
  ];
};

-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes
to prevent issues like these in the short future:

../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0,
but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source]
		strcpy(de3->name, ".");
		^

Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If
this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.

When building the tools/testing/selftest/bpf subdirectory,
(running both a local directory "make" and a
"make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf") I keep hitting the
following compilation error:

prog_tests/flow_dissector.c: In function ‘create_tap’:
prog_tests/flow_dissector.c:150:38: error: ‘IFF_NAPI’ undeclared (first
use in this function)
   .ifr_flags = IFF_TAP | IFF_NO_PI | IFF_NAPI | IFF_NAPI_FRAGS,
                                      ^
prog_tests/flow_dissector.c:150:38: note: each undeclared identifier is
reported only once for each function it appears in
prog_tests/flow_dissector.c:150:49: error: ‘IFF_NAPI_FRAGS’ undeclared

Adding include/uapi/linux/if_tun.h to tools/include/uapi/linux
resolves the problem and ensures the compilation of the file
does not depend on having up-to-date kernel headers locally.
