bcache: Replace zero-length arrays with DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper

Zero-length arrays are deprecated and we are moving towards adopting
C99 flexible-array members, instead. So, replace zero-length arrays
declarations in anonymous union with the new DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY()
helper macro.

This helper allows for flexible-array members in unions.

bcache: Silence memcpy() run-time false positive warnings

struct bkey has internal padding in a union, but it isn't always named
the same (e.g. key ## _pad, key_p, etc). This makes it extremely hard
for the compiler to reason about the available size of copies done
against such keys. Use unsafe_memcpy() for now, to silence the many
run-time false positive warnings:

memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 264) of single field "&i->j" at drivers/md/bcache/journal.c:152 (size 240)
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 24) of single field "&b->key" at drivers/md/bcache/btree.c:939 (size 16)
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 24) of single field "&temp.key" at drivers/md/bcache/extents.c:428 (size 16)

bcache: move uapi header bcache.h to bcache code directory

The header file include/uapi/linux/bcache.h is not really a user space
API heaer. This file defines the ondisk format of bcache internal meta
data but no one includes it from user space, bcache-tools has its own
copy of this header with minor modification.

Therefore, this patch moves include/uapi/linux/bcache.h to bcache code
directory as drivers/md/bcache/bcache_ondisk.h.
