[PATCH][next] MIPS: dec: prom: Address -Warray-bounds warning

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva

Zero-length arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible
array members instead. So, replace zero-length array with flexible-array
member in struct memmap.

Address the following warning found after building (with GCC-13) mips64
with decstation_64_defconfig:
In function 'rex_setup_memory_region',
inlined from 'prom_meminit' at arch/mips/dec/prom/memory.c:91:3:
arch/mips/dec/prom/memory.c:72:31: error: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'unsigned char[0]' [-Werror=array-bounds=]
72 | if (bm->bitmap[i] == 0xff)
| ~~~~~~~~~~^~~
In file included from arch/mips/dec/prom/memory.c:16:
./arch/mips/include/asm/dec/prom.h: In function 'prom_meminit':
./arch/mips/include/asm/dec/prom.h:73:23: note: while referencing 'bitmap'
73 | unsigned char bitmap[0];

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds.

This results in no differences in binary output.
