lib: objagg: Use struct_size() in kzalloc()
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 objagg_stats {
...
struct objagg_obj_stats_info stats_info[];
};
size = sizeof(*objagg_stats) + sizeof(objagg_stats->stats_info[0]) * 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, stats_info, count), GFP_KERNEL);
Notice that, in this case, variable alloc_size is not necessary, hence it
is removed.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
