Subject: [PATCH 3/5] IB/qib: Use kcalloc() in qib_alloc_devdata()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 14:15:45 +0200

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".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
