-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
Use the `DEFINE_RAW_FLEX()` helper for on-stack definitions 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.
Also, there is no need to use the DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper.
Replace it with a regular flexible-array member declaration
instead.
So, with these changes, fix the following warning:
drivers/scsi/sd.c:3195:50: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

Yikes. This is way to ugly to live. Just remove the silly flex
array entirely and everyone is better off:
