coccinelle: misc: add flexible_array.cocci script
One-element and zero-length arrays are deprecated [1]. Kernel code should always use "flexible array members" instead, except for existing uapi definitions. The script warns about one-element and zero-length arrays in structs. [1] commit 68e4cd17e218 ("docs: deprecated.rst: Add zero-length and one-element arrays") Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavoars@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Denis Efremov <efremov@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@inria.fr>
