[PATCH rc v3 1/4] iommufd: Fix data_len byte-count vs element-count mismatch

[Nicolin Chen <nicolinc@nvidia.com>]

kzalloc_flex() computes the allocation size. With event_data typed as u64,
data_len is interpreted as a u64 element count. Yet, every caller and the
read path treat data_len as a byte count. The current code over-allocates
by sizeof(u64) and the __counted_by() annotation overstates the length by
the same factor.

Re-type event_data as u8. No functional change in user-visible behavior.

Fixes: e36ba5ab808e ("iommufd: Add IOMMUFD_OBJ_VEVENTQ and IOMMUFD_CMD_VEVENTQ_ALLOC")
