greybus: audio: apbridgea: Remove flexible array from struct audio_apbridgea_hdr

When a struct containing a flexible array is included in another struct,
and there is a member after the struct-with-flex-array, there is a
possibility of memory overlap. These cases must be audited [1]. See:

struct inner {
	...
	int flex[];
};

struct outer {
	...
	struct inner header;
	int overlap;
	...
};

This is the scenario for the "struct audio_apbridgea_hdr" structure
that is included in the following "struct audio_apbridgea_*_request"
structures:

struct audio_apbridgea_set_config_request
struct audio_apbridgea_register_cport_request
struct audio_apbridgea_unregister_cport_request
struct audio_apbridgea_set_tx_data_size_request
struct audio_apbridgea_prepare_tx_request
struct audio_apbridgea_start_tx_request
struct audio_apbridgea_stop_tx_request
struct audio_apbridgea_shutdown_tx_request
struct audio_apbridgea_set_rx_data_size_request
struct audio_apbridgea_prepare_rx_request
struct audio_apbridgea_start_rx_request
struct audio_apbridgea_stop_rx_request
struct audio_apbridgea_shutdown_rx_request

The pattern is like the one shown below:

struct audio_apbridgea_hdr {
	...
	__u8 data[];
} __packed;

struct audio_apbridgea_*_request {
	struct audio_apbridgea_hdr hdr;
	...
} __packed;

In this case, the trailing flexible array can be removed because it is
never used.
