[SRU][J][PATCH 2/3] net: dev: Convert sa_data to flexible array in struct sockaddr

From: Kees Cook <keescook at chromium.org>

One of the worst offenders of "fake flexible arrays" is struct sockaddr,
as it is the classic example of why GCC and Clang have been traditionally
forced to treat all trailing arrays as fake flexible arrays: in the
distant misty past, sa_data became too small, and code started just
treating it as a flexible array, even though it was fixed-size. The
special case by the compiler is specifically that sizeof(sa->sa_data)
and FORTIFY_SOURCE (which uses __builtin_object_size(sa->sa_data, 1))
do not agree (14 and -1 respectively), which makes FORTIFY_SOURCE treat
it as a flexible array.

However, the coming -fstrict-flex-arrays compiler flag will remove
these special cases so that FORTIFY_SOURCE can gain coverage over all
the trailing arrays in the kernel that are _not_ supposed to be treated
as a flexible array. To deal with this change, convert sa_data to a true
flexible array. To keep the structure size the same, move sa_data into
a union with a newly introduced sa_data_min with the original size. The
result is that FORTIFY_SOURCE can continue to have no idea how large
sa_data may actually be, but anything using sizeof(sa->sa_data) must
switch to sizeof(sa->sa_data_min).
