-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally.
There are currently a couple of objects in `struct smc_clc_msg_proposal_area`
that contain a couple of flexible structures:
struct smc_clc_msg_proposal_area {
...
struct smc_clc_v2_extension pclc_v2_ext;
...
struct smc_clc_smcd_v2_extension pclc_smcd_v2_ext;
...
};
So, in order to avoid ending up with a couple of flexible-array members
in the middle of a struct, we use the `struct_group_tagged()` helper to
separate the flexible array from the rest of the members in the flexible
structure:
struct smc_clc_smcd_v2_extension {
struct_group_tagged(smc_clc_smcd_v2_extension_fixed, fixed,
u8 system_eid[SMC_MAX_EID_LEN];
u8 reserved[16];
);
struct smc_clc_smcd_gid_chid gidchid[];
};
With the change described above, we now declare objects of the type of
the tagged struct without embedding flexible arrays in the middle of
another struct:
struct smc_clc_msg_proposal_area {
...
struct smc_clc_v2_extension_fixed pclc_v2_ext;
...
struct smc_clc_smcd_v2_extension_fixed pclc_smcd_v2_ext;
...
};
We also use `container_of()` when we need to retrieve a pointer to the
flexible structures.
So, with these changes, fix the following warnings:

net/smc/smc_clc.h:186:49: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
