Add a flexible array member to avoid false positive run-time warning.

This does silence the warning but it seems like we might be able to go a
little further.
What about not adding that flex array to struct opal_prd_msg_queue_item,
but adding one to struct opal_prd_msg. That is what the data format
actually is.
So we'd have something like:
struct opal_prd_msg {
struct opal_prd_msg_header hdr;
char msg[];
}
and change things to use that instead?
But that might be more trouble than it is worth, alternatively we can
just do:
item->msg = *hdr;
memcpy((char *)item->msg + sizeof(*hdr), (char *)hdr + sizeof(*hdr),
msg_size - sizeof(*hdr));
spin_lock_irqsave(&opal_prd_msg_queue_lock, flags);
list_add_tail(&item->list, &opal_prd_msg_queue);
