[PATCH v2] net: dsa: Remove VLA usage

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Jul 17 2018 - 00:10:41 EST


From: Salvatore Mesoraca <s.mesoraca16@xxxxxxxxx>

We avoid 2 VLAs by using a pre-allocated field in dsa_switch. We also
try to avoid dynamic allocation whenever possible (when using fewer than
bits-per-long ports, which is the common case).
