[PATCH v2][next] drm/nouveau: fifo: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Adjust heap allocation to account for the flex-array-in-the-middle
issue, and refactor the rest of the code accordingly.

So, with these changes, fix the following warning:

drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvif/fifo.c:29:42: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

Changes in v2:
 - Adjust heap allocation instead of using the DEFINE_RAW_FLEX() helper.

v1:
