ipc/sem: use flexible array in 'struct sem_undo'
Turn 'semadj' in 'struct sem_undo' into a flexible array. The advantages are: - save the size of a pointer when the new undo structure is allocated - avoid some always ugly pointer arithmetic to get the address of semadj - avoid an indirection when the array is accessed While at it, use struct_size() to compute the size of the new undo structure.
