-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
Change the type of the middle struct member currently causing trouble from
`struct ethtool_link_settings` to `struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`.
Additionally, update the type of some variables in various functions that
don't access the flexible-array member, changing them to the newly created
`struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`. These changes are needed because the
type of the conflicting middle members changed. So, those instances that
expect the type to be `struct ethtool_link_settings` should be adjusted to
the newly created type `struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`.
Also, adjust variable declarations to follow the reverse xmas tree
convention.
Fix 3338 of the following -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings:
include/linux/ethtool.h:214:38: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
