Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions). Also, relocate `event->datalen = datalen;` to before calling `memcpy(event->data, data, datalen);`, so that the __counted_by annotation has effect, and flex-array member `data` can be properly bounds-checked at run-time. While there, use struct_size() helper, instead of the open-coded version, to calculate the size for the allocation of the whole flexible structure, including of course, the flexible-array member. This code was found with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and fixed manually. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
