Don't use a zero-size array because it doesn't allow the user to
compile an app that uses liburing with the `-pedantic-errors` flag:

Ammar, I'd strongly encourage you to at least compile your
patches or even better actually test them. There is an explicit
BUILD_BUG_ON() violated by this change.

Oh yeah, I didn't realize that. This patch breaks this assertion:

  BUILD_BUG_ON failed: sizeof_field(struct io_uring_sqe, cmd) != 0

This assertion wants the size of cmd[] to be zero. Which is obviously
violated in this patch.

I only tested a liburing app that uses this header and validated
that the struct size is the same, but not its field. That's my
mistake.

I'm *not* going to send a v2 per Jens' comment.
