mailbox: zynq: Switch to flexible array to simplify code
[ Upstream commit 043f85ce81cb1714e14d31c322c5646513dde3fb ]
Using flexible array is more straight forward. It
- saves 1 pointer in the 'zynqmp_ipi_pdata' structure
- saves an indirection when using this array
- saves some LoC and avoids some always spurious pointer arithmetic
