[PATCH] ipc/sem.c: replace kvmalloc/memset with kvzalloc and use struct_size

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Thu Jan 31 2019 - 16:42:26 EST


Use kvzalloc() instead of kvmalloc() and memset().

Also, make use of the struct_size() helper instead of
the open-coded version in order to avoid any potential
type mistakes.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
