* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus reuse the corresponding function "kcalloc".
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
* 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.
Fixes: 5d0be84ec0cacfc7a6d6ea548afdd07d481324cd ("dm crypt: fix free of bad values after tfm allocation failure")
