Silence run-time memcpy() false positive warning when processing management frames: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 27) of single field "&mgmt_frame->u" at drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/p2p.c:1469 (size 26) Due to this (soon to be fixed) GCC bug[1], FORTIFY_SOURCE (via __builtin_dynamic_object_size) doesn't recognize that the union may end with a flexible array, and returns "26" (the fixed size of the union), rather than the remaining size of the allocation. Add an explicit flexible array member and set it as the destination here, so that we get the correct coverage for the memcpy().
