Prefer kcalloc() to kzalloc(array_size()) for allocating an array.

Hi Robin,

thanks for the cleanup.

One minor nit: I think "nfp: " would be a slightly more normal prefix
than "nfp: nsp: ".

Ah, OK - from the git history it seemed about 50/50 one way or the other, so I guessed at the one that looked more specific to this particular file. I ran into this little anti-pattern in code I was working on, and this was the only other instance that a quick grep turned up so I figured I may as well fix it too.

That notwithstanding,

Thanks!
Robin.
