[PATCH 08/14] drm/amd/pm: Replace one-element array with flexible-array in struct phm_cac_leakage_table

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].

Refactor the code according to the use of a flexible-array member in
struct phm_cac_leakage_table, instead of a one-element array,
and use the struct_size() helper to calculate the size for the allocation.

Also, save some heap space as the original code is multiplying
table->ucNumEntries by sizeof(struct phm_cac_leakage_table) when it
should have been multiplied it by sizeof(struct phm_cac_leakage_record)
instead.
