hpilo: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member

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].

For this particular case, it is important to notice that the cachelines
change from 7 to 6 after the flexible-array conversion:

$ pahole -C 'fifo' drivers/misc/hpilo.o
struct fifo {
	u64                        nrents;               /*     0     8 */
	u64                        imask;                /*     8     8 */
	u64                        merge;                /*    16     8 */
	u64                        reset;                /*    24     8 */
	u8                         pad_0[96];            /*    32    96 */
	/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
	u64                        head;                 /*   128     8 */
	u8                         pad_1[120];           /*   136   120 */
	/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */
	u64                        tail;                 /*   256     8 */
	u8                         pad_2[120];           /*   264   120 */
	/* --- cacheline 6 boundary (384 bytes) --- */
	u64                        fifobar[1];           /*   384     8 */

	/* size: 392, cachelines: 7, members: 10 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};

$ pahole -C 'fifo' drivers/misc/hpilo.o
struct fifo {
	u64                        nrents;               /*     0     8 */
	u64                        imask;                /*     8     8 */
	u64                        merge;                /*    16     8 */
	u64                        reset;                /*    24     8 */
	u8                         pad_0[96];            /*    32    96 */
	/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
	u64                        head;                 /*   128     8 */
	u8                         pad_1[120];           /*   136   120 */
	/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */
	u64                        tail;                 /*   256     8 */
	u8                         pad_2[120];           /*   264   120 */
	/* --- cacheline 6 boundary (384 bytes) --- */
	u64                        fifobar[];            /*   384     0 */

	/* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 10 */
};

Lastly, remove unnecessary parentheses in fifo_sz() and fix the following
checkpatch.pl warning for the whole fifo structure:
