When the "storcli2 show" command is executed for eHBA-9600, mpi3mr
driver prints this WARNING message:

  memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 128) of single field "bsg_reply_buf->reply_buf" at drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_app.c:1658 (size 1)
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 12760 at drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_app.c:1658 mpi3mr_bsg_request+0x6b12/0x7f10 [mpi3mr]

The cause of the WARN is 128 bytes memcpy to the 1 byte size array
"__u8 replay_buf[1]" in the struct mpi3mr_bsg_in_reply_buf. The array is
intended to be a flexible length array, then the WARN is a false
positive. To suppress the WARN, remove the constant number '1' from the
array declaration and clarify that it has flexible length. Also, adjust
the memory allocation size to match the change.

Changes from v1:
* Modify the array declaration for flexible length instead of two memcpy calls

Applied to 6.9/scsi-fixes, thanks!
