kcalloc?
Only reason for using kzalloc is to give the code more flexibility to
free any pointer in the array in case of errors.
Still lost. The arrays are allocated down below in the for loop. This is
allocating a bunch of pointers so using kcalloc() here avoids problems
with overflows causing kzalloc() to allocate fewer pointers than
requested. I'm not suggesting we replace the for loop with a kcalloc,
just this single line.
My bad, I think I miss understood your suggestion, Yes, we can allocate
pointers using kzalloc.
