Some of the directory/attr structures contain variable-length objects,
so the enclosing structure doesn't have a meaningful fixed size at
compile time.  We can check the offsets of the members before the
variable-length member, so do those.

I'm missing why this is necessary. Is the intent still to catch
alignment and/or padding issues? If so, isn't the size check sufficient,
regardless of trailing variable size fields?

Perhaps the goal here is to reduce the scope of checking from where it
isn't needed..? For example, xfs_dir2_data_unused_t looks like it has a
field where the offset in the structure is irrelevant, so that's a
possible false positive if that changes down the road. On the flip side,
that doesn't appear to be the case for other structures such as
xfs_attr_leaf_name_[local|remote]_t.
ISTR making this change to work around behavioral variances in how
much padding gcc adds to structures across its various targets.  The
macros that go along with the variable sized structures work fine,
but testing the sizeof() doesn't work reliably.
Ok, I take that to mean that we may or may not have padding in some of
the variable structures depending on architecture (and we really only
care about certain fields in those structures). Fair enough, thanks!
