PATCH 1/1 wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning

-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 an on-stack definition 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.

So, with these changes, fix the following warning:

drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/mac80211.c:6430:41: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
