Commit 1e6b251ce175 ("crypto: nx - Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end
warning") introduced tagged `struct nx842_crypto_header_hdr`. We want
to ensure that when new members need to be added to the flexible
structure, they are always included within this tagged struct.

So, we use `static_assert()` to ensure that the memory layout for
both the flexible structure and the tagged struct is the same after
any changes.
