We are trying to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions to prevent integer overflows[1]. Here the multiplication is
obviously safe, but using kcalloc() is more appropriate and improves
readability. This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.

`sizeof(*pages_disk)` is preferable over `sizeof(struct page *)`
Thanks
