[PATCH RESEND] powerpc/rtas: Replace one-element array with flexible array member

Replace the deprecated one-element array with a modern flexible array
member in the struct rtas_error_log and add the __counted_by_be()
compiler attribute to improve access bounds-checking via
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
