Now that struct rtas_error_log uses a flexible array member for the extended log buffer, use struct_size() to calculate the total RTAS error log size and avoid using the hard-coded header size of 8 bytes. Use memcpy_and_pad() instead of memset() and memcpy() while at it.

Sashiko found that memcpy_and_pad() isn't safe here because fwnmi_get_errinfo() is part of a real-mode path: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260626184750.166642-3-thorsten.blum%40linux.dev I'll send a v2 and keep memset() and memcpy() separate.
