    sctp: prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
    
    [ Upstream commit e5c5f3596de224422561d48eba6ece5210d967b3 ]
    
    This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
    functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2].
    
    As the "ids" variable is a pointer to "struct sctp_assoc_ids" and this
    structure ends in a flexible array:
    
    struct sctp_assoc_ids {
            [...]
            sctp_assoc_t    gaids_assoc_id[];
    };
    
    the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
    do the arithmetic instead of the calculation "size + size * count" in
    the kmalloc() function.
    
    Also, refactor the code adding the "ids_size" variable to avoid sizing
    twice.
    
    This way, the code is more readable and safer.
    
    This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and
    modified manually.
