PATCH 1/1 dmaengine: hsu: use kzalloc_flex

Simplifies allocations by using a flexible array member in this struct.

Remove hsu_dma_alloc_desc. It now offers no readability advantages in this single usage.

Add __counted_by to get extra runtime analysis.

Apply the exact same treatment to struct hsu_dma and devm_kzalloc.
