-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Use the new TRAILING_OVERLAP() helper to fix the following warning:

drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvif/fifo.c:29:42: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

This helper creates a union between a flexible-array member (FAM)
and a set of members that would otherwise follow it. This overlays
the trailing members onto the FAM while preserving the original
memory layout.

Changes in v3:
 - Use the new TRAILING_OVERLAP() helper.

Changes in v2:
 - Adjust heap allocation.

I took a look at the modified structure layout with the union from the
macro using pahole and found the layouts and sizes to be equivalent --
all the while fixing the warning you demonstrated.

There's really starting to be a lot of these helper macros!
