flex_array: allow 0 length elements
flex_arrays are supposed to be a replacement for:
kmalloc(num_elements * sizeof(element))
If kmalloc is given 0 num_elements or a 0 size element it will happily return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR. Which looks like a valid allocation, but which will explode if
something actually try to use it. The current flex_array code will return an
equivalent result if num_elements is 0, but will fail to work if
sizeof(element) is 0. This patch allows allocation to work even for 0 size
elements. It will cause flex_arrays to explode though if they are used.
Imitating the kmalloc behavior.
