Some network selftests defined variable-sized types variable at the middle of struct causing -Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end warning.
warning: timestamping.c:285:18: warning: field 'cm' with variable sized type 'struct cmsghdr' not at the end of a struct or class is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end] 285 | struct cmsghdr cm; | ^
ipsec.c:835:5: warning: field 'u' with variable sized type 'union (unnamed union at ipsec.c:831:3)' not at the end of a struct or class is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end] 835 | } u; | ^
This patch move these field at the end of struct to fix these warnings.
