Subject: [PATCH][next] wifi: wil6210: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end
 warning

Use the `DEFINE_FLEX()` helper for an on-stack definition of
a flexible structure where the size of the flexible-array member
is known at compile-time, and refactor the rest of the code,
accordingly.

So, with these changes, fix the following warning:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/wmi.c:4018:49: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
