[RFC PATCH bpf-next v2 11/17] bpf: support variable length array in tracing programs

[Yonghong Song <yhs@xxxxxx>]

In /proc/net/ipv6_route, we have
  struct fib6_info {
    struct fib6_table *fib6_table;
    ...
    struct fib6_nh fib6_nh[0];
  }
  struct fib6_nh {
    struct fib_nh_common nh_common;
    struct rt6_info **rt6i_pcpu;
    struct rt6_exception_bucket *rt6i_exception_bucket;
  };
  struct fib_nh_common {
    ...
    u8 nhc_gw_family;
    ...
  }

The access:
  struct fib6_nh *fib6_nh = &rt->fib6_nh;
  ... fib6_nh->nh_common.nhc_gw_family ...

This patch ensures such an access is handled properly.
