net/mlxfw: Use kzalloc for allocating only one thing

Use kzalloc rather than kcalloc(1,...)

net: mlxfw: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

net/mlxfw: Fix out-of-memory error in mfa2 flash burning

The burning process requires to perform internal allocations of large
chunks of memory. This memory doesn't need to be contiguous and can be
safely allocated by vzalloc() instead of kzalloc(). This patch changes
such allocation to avoid possible out-of-memory failure.

net/mlxfw: fix a NULL dereference

If we hit this error path we end up returning ERR_PTR(0) which is NULL.
The caller is not expecting that so it results in a NULL dereference.

net/mlxfw: remove redundant goto on error check

The check to see of err is set and the subsequent goto is extraneous
as the next statement is where the goto is jumping to. Remove this
redundant check and goto.

Add the mlxfw module for Mellanox firmware flash process

The mlxfw module is in charge of common logic needed to flash Mellanox
devices firmware, which consists of:
- Parse the Mellanox Firmware Archive version 2 (MFA2) format, which is
the format used to store the Mellanox firmware. The MFA2 format file can
hold firmware for many different silicon variants, differentiated by a
unique ID called PSID. In addition, the MFA2 file data section is
compressed using xz compression to save both file-system space and
memory at extraction time.
- Implement the firmware flash state machine logic, which is a common
logic for Mellanox products needed to flash the firmware to the device.

As the module is shared between different Mellanox products, it defines a
set of callbacks to be implemented by the specific driver for hardware
interaction.
