Kees Cook ab20b0bdb0 overflow: Introduce __DEFINE_FLEX for having no initializer ...

commit 5c78e793f7 upstream.

While not yet in the tree, there is a proposed patch[1] that was
depending on the prior behavior of _DEFINE_FLEX, which did not have an
explicit initializer. Provide this via __DEFINE_FLEX now, which can also
have attributes applied (e.g. __uninitialized).

Examples of the resulting initializer behaviors can be seen here:
