With page size of 16K the frag_addr[] array would never be used, so the original
code was correct that size should be 0. But the compiler now gets upset with 0
size arrays thinking this is some flex array leftover? Or can't figure out that
in this case an rx skb with fragments would never be created.

The workaround is fine, but could you add an explanatory comment?
