exofs: avoid VLA in structures

On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1] this adjusts several
cases where allocation is made after an array of structures that points
back into the allocation.  The allocations are changed to perform explicit
calculations instead of using a Variable Length Array in a structure.
Additionally, this lets Clang compile this code now, since Clang does not
support VLAIS[2].
