[BRIDGE] ebtables: fix allocation in net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c
Allocate an array of 'struct ebt_chainstack *', the current code allocates
array of 'struct ebt_chainstack'.
akpm: converted to use the
foo = alloc(sizeof(*foo))
form. Which would have prevented this from happening in the first place.
akpm: also removed unneeded typecast.
akpm: what on earth is this code doing anyway? cpu_possible_map can be
sparse..
