Subject: [PATCH] usb: ch9: Replace 1-element array with flexible array

With "-fstrict-flex-arrays=3" enabled, UBSAN_BOUNDS no longer pretends
1-element arrays are unbounded. Walking wData will trigger a warning,
so make it a proper flexible array. Add a union to keep the struct size
identical for userspace in case anything was depending on the old size.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202306102333.8f5a7443-oliver.sang@intel.com
Fixes: df8fc4e934c1 ("kbuild: Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3")
