[PATCH 01/10] md/dm-crypt: Use kcalloc() in crypt_alloc_tfms()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2016 13:26:22 +0200

* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
  indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
  Thus reuse the corresponding function "kcalloc".

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* 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.

Fixes: 5d0be84ec0cacfc7a6d6ea548afdd07d481324cd ("dm crypt: fix free of bad values after tfm allocation failure")
