integrity: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings
-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally.
There is currently an object (`hdr)` in `struct ima_max_digest_data`
that contains a flexible structure (`struct ima_digest_data`):
struct ima_max_digest_data {
struct ima_digest_data hdr;
u8 digest[HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE];
} __packed;
So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the
middle of a struct, we use the `__struct_group()` helper to separate
the flexible array from the rest of the members in the flexible
structure:
struct ima_digest_data {
__struct_group(ima_digest_data_hdr, hdr, __packed,
... the rest of the members
);
u8 digest[];
} __packed;
And similarly for `struct evm_ima_xattr_data`.
With the change described above, we can now declare an object of the
type of the tagged `struct ima_digest_data_hdr`, without embedding the
flexible array in the middle of another struct:
struct ima_max_digest_data {
struct ima_digest_data_hdr hdr;
u8 digest[HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE];
} __packed;
And similarly for `struct evm_digest` and `struct evm_xattr`.
We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to
the flexible structure.
So, with these changes, fix the following warnings:
security/integrity/evm/evm.h:64:32: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
security/integrity/evm/../integrity.h:40:35: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
