[PATCH] thunderbolt: Use kcalloc

From: Himangi Saraogi
Date: Fri Jul 11 2014 - 15:42:56 EST


The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows
which could result from the multiplication of number of elements
and size and it is also a bit nicer to read.

A patch on top of my char-misc tree as the kzalloc version is
already applied there.
