One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible
array members instead. So, replace one-element array with flexible-array
member in struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command and refactor the rest of the
code, accordingly.

The following pieces of code suggest that the one element of array sg_list
in struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command is not taken into account when
calculating the total size for both struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command
and the maximum number of elements sg_list will contain:

1047         req->header.size = cpu_to_le32(
1048                                 sizeof(struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command)
1049                                  - sizeof(struct hpt_iopsg)
1050                                  + sg_count * sizeof(struct hpt_iopsg));

1400         req_size = sizeof(struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command)                            1401                 + sizeof(struct hpt_iopsg) * (hba->max_sg_descriptors - 1);

So it's safe to replace the one-element array with a flexible-array
member and update the code above, accordingly: now we don't need to
subtract sizeof(struct hpt_iopsg) from sizeof(struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command)
because this is implicitly done by the flex-array transformation.

Accidentally merge line above ("1401" should start a new line).

The only binary output change I see is from the line numbers changing
from the patch, as the argument to __might_sleep() is adjusted:

...
│       call   d1 <hptiop_reset+0x74>
│   R_X86_64_PLT32      __x86_indirect_thunk_rax-0x4
│ -     mov    $0x434,%esi
│ +     mov    $0x433,%esi
│       mov    $0x0,%rdi
│   R_X86_64_32S        .rodata.str1.1
│       call   e2 <hptiop_reset+0x85>
│   R_X86_64_PLT32      __might_sleep-0x4
...

So this looks good!
