[PATCH][next] i40e/i40e_virtchnl_pf: Use struct_size() in kzalloc()

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct virtchnl_iwarp_qvlist_info {
...
struct virtchnl_iwarp_qv_info qv_info[1];
};

size = sizeof(struct virtchnl_iwarp_qvlist_info) + (sizeof(struct virtchnl_iwarp_qv_info) * count;
instance = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);

and

struct virtchnl_vf_resource {
...
struct virtchnl_vsi_resource vsi_res[1];
};

size = sizeof(struct virtchnl_vf_resource) + sizeof(struct virtchnl_vsi_resource) * count;
instance = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, qv_info, count), GFP_KERNEL);

and

instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, vsi_res, count), GFP_KERNEL);

Notice that, in the first case above, variable size is not necessary, hence it
is removed.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
