[PATCH net-next v3] ice: Adjust over allocation of memory in ice_sched_add_root_node() and ice_sched_add_node()

From: Aleksandr Mishin
Date: Mon Jul 08 2024 - 14:30:10 EST


In ice_sched_add_root_node() and ice_sched_add_node() there are calls to
devm_kcalloc() in order to allocate memory for array of pointers to
'ice_sched_node' structure. But incorrect types are used as sizeof()
arguments in these calls (structures instead of pointers) which leads to
over allocation of memory.

Adjust over allocation of memory by correcting types in devm_kcalloc()
sizeof() arguments.
