WARNING: Prefer kcalloc over kzalloc with multiply Thus fix the affected source code place. * Replace the specification of a data type by a pointer dereference to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention. * Delete the local variable "size" which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
