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

So, with this, fix 77 of the following warnings:

include/linux/jbd2.h:1800:35: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

Am I missing some magic here or the 1 above should be
JBD_MAX_CHECKSUM_SIZE?

This seems to be 32-bit code, and the element type of the flex-array
member `__ctx` is `void *`. Therefore, we have:

`sizeof(ctx) == 4` when `char ctx[JBD_MAX_CHECKSUM_SIZE];`

To maintain the same size, we tell `DEFINE_RAW_FLEX()` to allocate `1`
element for the flex array, as in 32-bit `sizeof(void *) == 4`.
