[PATCH 1/2] lib/string_helpers: drop redundant allocation in kasprintf_strarray

[Thorsten Blum]

kasprintf_strarray() returns an array of N strings and kfree_strarray()
also frees N entries.  However, kasprintf_strarray() currently allocates
N+1 char pointers.  Allocate exactly N pointers instead of N+1.

Also update the kernel-doc for @n.
