Current structure includes no field to express the number of messages copied to user space, thus user space application needs to information out of the structure to parse the content of structure. This commit adds a field to express the number of messages copied to user space since It is more preferable to use self-contained structure. Kees Cook proposed an idea of annotation for bound of flexible arrays in his future improvement for flexible-length array in kernel. The additional field for message count is suitable to the idea as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
