Even with "const" variables, the compiler will generate warnings about
VLA usage. In the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1], this uses
a #define instead of a const to do the array sizing.

Please include this for the v4.19 merge window. The VLA was introduced
with the new source file (which I also note is missing a SPDX line), so
I'd like to avoid the kernel ever getting released with a VLA here.
Ok, I'll push this to v4.19.
