bpf: Avoid -Wflex-array-members-not-at-end warnings
Apparently, struct bpf_empty_prog_array exists entirely to populate a single element of "items" in a global variable. "null_prog" is only used during the initializer. None of this is needed; globals will be correctly sized with an array initializer of a flexible-array member. So, remove struct bpf_empty_prog_array and adjust the rest of the code, accordingly. With these changes, fix the following warnings: ./include/linux/bpf.h:2369:31: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.
