[PATCH][next] drm/radeon/nislands_smc.h: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member in struct NISLANDS_SMC_SWSTATE

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].

Use flexible-array member in struct NISLANDS_SMC_SWSTATE, instead of
one-element array.

Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds by
fixing the following warnings:
