Change kzalloc + kcalloc to just kzalloc with a flexible array member.

Add __counted_by for extra runtime analysis when requested.

Move counting assignment immediately after allocation as required by
__counted_by.

Move mhi_buf definition as a complete definition is needed for flex
arrays. It's not a pointer anymore.
