* The script "checkpatch.pl" can point information out like the following.

WARNING: Prefer kcalloc over kzalloc with multiply

Thus fix the affected source code place.

* Replace the specification of a data type by a pointer dereference
to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
the Linux coding style convention.

* Delete the local variable "size" which became unnecessary with
this refactoring.
