[PATCH] dm: Annotate struct dm_stat with __counted_by

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2023-09-15 20:04:52

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by
attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have
their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS
(for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
functions).

As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct dm_stat.
