Christophe JAILLET ef35bed6fa udp_tunnel: Use flex array to simplify code ...

'n_tables' is small, UDP_TUNNEL_NIC_MAX_TABLES	= 4 as a maximum. So there
is no real point to allocate the 'entries' pointers array with a dedicate
memory allocation.

Using a flexible array for struct udp_tunnel_nic->entries avoids the
overhead of an additional memory allocation.

This also saves an indirection when the array is accessed.

Finally, __counted_by() can be used for run-time bounds checking if
configured and supported by the compiler.
