On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1] this adjusts several cases where allocation is made after an array of structures that points back into the allocation. The allocations are changed to perform explicit calculations instead of using a Variable Length Array in a structure. Additionally, this lets Clang compile this code now, since Clang does not support VLAIS[2].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
