Subject: [PATCH v2] lsm: Add a __counted_by() annotation to lsm_ctx.ctx

The ctx in struct lsm_ctx is an array of size ctx_len, tell the compiler
about this using __counted_by() where supported to improve the ability to
detect overflow issues.

Changes in v2:
- Add explicit stddef.h inclusion in case __counted_by() definition
  isn't otherwise pulled in.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231221-lsm-fix-counted-by-v1-1-12cc27597cdf@kernel.org
