[PATCH] net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: Avoid truncating allocation

There doesn't appear to be a reason to truncate the allocation used for
flow_info, so do a full allocation and remove the unused empty struct.
GCC does not like having a reference to an object that has been
partially allocated, as bounds checking may become impossible when
such an object is passed to other code. Seen with GCC 13:

../drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/mtk_ppe.c: In function 'mtk_foe_entry_commit_subflow':
../drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/mtk_ppe.c:623:18: warning: array subscript 'struct mtk_flow_entry[0]' is partly outside array bounds of 'unsigned char[48]' [-Warray-bounds=]
  623 |         flow_info->l2_data.base_flow = entry;
      |                  ^~
