Replace old-style 1-element array of "dev" in struct stripe_head with modern C99 flexible array. In the future, we can additionally annotate it with the run-time size, found in the "disks" member.

However, I'm not entirely sure if that is the right analysis, since "dev" is not related to struct bio nor PAGE_SIZE?
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.
