For afs_deliver_cb_callback(), this adds redundant checking, as does the one
on the kmalloc() on the preceding line:

call->buffer = kmalloc(array3_size(call->count, 3, 4),
GFP_KERNEL);
if (!call->buffer)
return -ENOMEM;

because directly above them is a range check:

if (call->count > AFSCBMAX)
return afs_protocol_error(call, afs_eproto_cb_fid_count);

limiting the array size to 50.

Further, note that it's *not* a 3D array. 3 * 4 is the element size and is
constant. I've written it that way as the block is 3 XDR units, but the block
size is actually 12 bytes.

The one in the kmalloc() should also not be using array3_size() for the same
reason.
