x86/uv/time: Use a flexible array in struct uv_rtc_timer_head

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The
older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be
used[2].

struct uv_rtc_timer_head contains a one-element array cpu[1]. Switch it
to a flexible array and use the struct_size() helper to calculate the
allocation size. Also, save some heap space in the process[3].
