Use 2-factor multiplication argument form kcalloc() instead of kzalloc(). Also, it is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type) due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not change the former (unlike the latter).

Silva <gustavoars@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Erick Archer <erick.archer@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v2: - Update the changelog text describing the sizeof() changes (Gustavo A. R. Silva) Changes in v3: - Add the "Reviewed-by:" tag. - Rebase against linux-next.
