Use the `DEFINE_RAW_FLEX()` helper for an on-stack definition of
a flexible structure where the size of the flexible-array member
is known at compile-time, and refactor the rest of the code,
accordingly.

So, with this, fix the following warning:

drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/dispnv50/disp.c:779:47: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

To avoid repeating the open-coded "17", this could either be a define:

nv50_hdmi_enable(...)
{
...
#define data_len	17
	DEFINE_RAW_FLEX(struct nvif_outp_infoframe_v0, args, data, data_len);
...rest of function...
#undef data_len
}

or an ungainly but compile-time calculated value that exposes some
DEFINE_FLEX internals:

	const u8 data_len = (sizeof(args_u) - sizeof(*args)) / sizeof(*args->data);

Yeah, I actually thought of something more like just __struct_size(args) - sizeof(*args),
as the flex array member is `__u8 data[]`.


(Maybe a helper is needed for that?)

#define STACK_FLEX_COUNT(name, member)	\
	((sizeof(name##_u) = sizeof(*(name))) / sizeof(*(name)->member))

I don't like this `sizeof(name##_u)` part as it is detached from the DEFINE_RAW_FLEX()
internals. Probably use `__struct_size(args)` instead, as in the example above.

The stack variable (was before and is again) already zero-initialized,
so the "= 0" line shouldn't be needed.

But neither of these comments are show-stoppers, IMO.
