Subject: [PATCH] xfrm: Annotate struct xfrm_sec_ctx with __counted_by

From: Kees Cook <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2023 16:18:28 -0700

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 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 xfrm_sec_ctx.
