I wrote a patch to do exactly the same, but you got your patch out
first! It is identical to my patch so:

Reviewed-by: Richard Fitzgerald <rf@opensource.cirrus.com>

(Note that I did some testing with Clang-19 and the __counted_by() seems
to only be checked in certain functions, like memcpy() and memset(). The
get_random_bytes() used in the KUnit test can overrun the array without
triggering any warning.)
