Subject: [PATCH 11/54] md/raid1: Use kcalloc() in raid1_reshape()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
  indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
  Thus use the corresponding function "kcalloc".

* Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
  to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
  the Linux coding style convention.
