  To: akpm; +Cc: linux-fsdevel, linux-kernel, Muhammad Mahdi Amirpour

Replace one-element arrays with flexible-array members in the UFS
on-disk structures ufs_cylinder_group, ufs_old_cylinder_group, and
ufs_super_block_third.

Zero-length and one-element arrays are deprecated; the preferred
mechanism for such trailing arrays is an empty square bracket array.

All three fields are the last member of their struct, so their
offset within the struct is unchanged. The accessor macros in
ufs_fs.h and the field layout on disk continue to work identically.
No functional change.
