[PATCH v2 2/3] firewire: use struct_size over open coded arithmetic

From: "Minghao Chi (CGEL ZTE)" <chi.minghao at zte.com.cn>

Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member and make use
of the struct_size() helper in kmalloc(). For example:

struct fw_request {
    ...
    u32 data[];
}

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.

(Revised by Takashi Sakamoto to fix the value of third argument.)
