Kees Cook acafe7e302 treewide: Use struct_size() for kmalloc()-family
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct foo {
    int stuff;
    void *entry[];
};

instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This patch makes the changes for kmalloc()-family (and kvmalloc()-family)
uses. It was done via automatic conversion with manual review for the
"CHECKME" non-standard cases noted below, using the following Coccinelle
script:

// pkey_cache = kmalloc(sizeof *pkey_cache + tprops->pkey_tbl_len *
//                      sizeof *pkey_cache->table, GFP_KERNEL);
@@
identifier alloc =~ "kmalloc|kzalloc|kvmalloc|kvzalloc";
expression GFP;
identifier VAR, ELEMENT;
expression COUNT;
@@

- alloc(sizeof(*VAR) + COUNT * sizeof(*VAR->ELEMENT), GFP)
+ alloc(struct_size(VAR, ELEMENT, COUNT), GFP)

// mr = kzalloc(sizeof(*mr) + m * sizeof(mr->map[0]), GFP_KERNEL);

// or variable name.
