Add the __counted_by compiler attribute to the flexible array member

Remove the now obsolete comment on the count field.

Refactor ext4_expand_inode_array() by assigning count before copying any
data using memcpy(). Copy only the inodes array instead of the whole
struct because count has been set explicitly.

Use struct_size() and struct_size_t() instead of offsetof().

Change the data type of the local variable count to unsigned int to
match the struct's count data type.

Compile-tested only.

Changes in v2:
- Adjust ext4_expand_inode_array() as suggested by Gustavo A. R. Silva
- Use struct_size() and struct_size_t() instead of offsetof()
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20240729110454.346918-3-thorsten.blum@xxxxxxxxxx/

As Kees previously commented, you can use struct_size() here.

  				GFP_NOFS);

It seems `count` is not actually needed anymore.

If you remove it and directly use `(*ea_inode_array)->count` in the following
call to `kmalloc()`, you could use `struct_size()` in the call to `memcpy()`
below, and copy the whole thing in one line. See below.

- /* if new_array is NULL, this is essentially offsetof() */
-		new_array = kmalloc(
-				offsetof(struct ext4_xattr_inode_array,
-					 inodes[count + EIA_INCR]),
-				GFP_NOFS);
+		new_array = kmalloc(struct_size(*ea_inode_array, inodes,
+						count + EIA_INCR),
+				    GFP_NOFS);
  		if (new_array == NULL)
  			return -ENOMEM;
-		memcpy(new_array, *ea_inode_array,
-		       offsetof(struct ext4_xattr_inode_array, inodes[count]));
+		new_array->count = count;
+		memcpy(new_array->inodes, (*ea_inode_array)->inodes,
+		       count * sizeof(struct inode *));

memcpy(new_array, *ea_inode_array, struct_size(new_array, inodes, (*ea_inode_array)->count));

  		kfree(*ea_inode_array);
  		*ea_inode_array = new_array;
  	}

Also, you are missing one more like just below this one, where `(*ea_inode_array)->count`
is currently being used to directly index `inodes`:

(*ea_inode_array)->inodes[(*ea_inode_array)->count++] = inode;

Thanks
