    batman-adv: Drop initialization of flexible ethtool_link_ksettings
    
    [ Upstream commit 813e62a6fe7539fdf0d8e018d4f157b57bdaeedd ]
    
    The commit 94dfc73e7cf4 ("treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with
    flexible-array members") changed various structures from using 0-length
    arrays to flexible arrays
    
      net/batman-adv/bat_v_elp.c: note: in included file:
      ./include/linux/ethtool.h:148:38: warning: nested flexible array
      net/batman-adv/bat_v_elp.c:128:9: warning: using sizeof on a flexible structure
    
    In theory, this could be worked around by using {} as initializer for the
    variable on the stack. But this variable doesn't has to be initialized at
    all by the caller of __ethtool_get_link_ksettings - everything will be
    initialized by the callee when no error occurs.
