coda: Avoid partial allocation of sig_inputArgs
[ Upstream commit 48df133578c70185a95a49390d42df1996ddba2a ]
GCC does not like having a partially allocated object, since it cannot
reason about it for bounds checking when it is passed to other code.
Instead, fully allocate sig_inputArgs. (Alternatively, sig_inputArgs
should be defined as a struct coda_in_hdr, if it is actually not using
any other part of the union.) Seen under GCC 13:
../fs/coda/upcall.c: In function 'coda_upcall':
../fs/coda/upcall.c:801:22: warning: array subscript 'union inputArgs[0]' is partly outside array bounds of 'unsigned char[20]' [-Warray-bounds=]
801 | sig_inputArgs->ih.opcode = CODA_SIGNAL;
