-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Currently, member `sentinel` in `struct tty_bufhead` is causing trouble
becase its type is `struct tty_buffer`, which is a flexible structure
--meaning it contains a flexible-array member. This combined with the
fact that `sentinel` is positioned in the middle of `struct tty_bufhead`,
triggers hundreds of -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings because
flex-array members in the middle of structures are deprecated, and all
code involving them should be fixed/refactored/adjusted --flex-array
members are only allowed at the very end of any number of nested
structures. Enabling -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end globally will
enforce this behavior.

So, in this particular case, we create a new `struct tty_buffer_hdr`
to enclose the header part of flexible structure `struct tty_buffer`
This is all the members except the flexible array `data[]`. We then
replace that header part with `struct tty_buffer_hdr hdr;` in
`struct tty_buffer`, and change the type of `sentinel` from `struct
tty_buffer` to `struct tty_buffer_hdr` --this bit gets rid of the
flex-array-in-the-middle part.

The next step is to refactor the rest of the related code, accordingly.
Which means, adding a bunch of `hdr.` wherever it's needed.

Lastly, we use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer
to the flexible structure `struct tty_buffer`.

So, with these changes, fix 384 of the following warnings:
include/linux/tty_buffer.h:40:27: warning: structure containing a flexible 
array member is not at the end of another structure 
[-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

Changes in v3:
 - Implement `struct tty_buffer_hdr` as a separate struct and embed it
   into `struct tty_buffer`. Refactor the rest of the code, accordingly.

Changes in v2:
 - Fix a space at the beginning of the line issue, and adjust the
   identation of a code coment.
 - Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hardening/Z6L29DXeGWl-6OnK@kspp/

v1:
