3.16.72-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 057ac1acdfc4743f066fcefe359385cad00549eb upstream.
A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
