Subject: [PATCH v3][next] virt: acrn: Prefer array_size and struct_size over open coded arithmetic

As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead
to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the
caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear
overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.

So, use the array_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the
argument "count * size" in the vzalloc() function.

Also, take the opportunity to add a flexible array member of struct
vm_memory_region_op to the vm_memory_region_batch structure. And then,
change the code accordingly and use the struct_size() helper to do the
arithmetic instead of the argument "size + size * count" in the kzalloc
function.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed
manually.

Changelog v1 -> v2
- Fix the typo "syze -> size" in the subject (Kees Cook).
- Reduce the number of tabs in the definition of the structure
  vm_memory_region_batch (Fei Li).
- Add the "Acked-by" tag.

Changelog v2 -> v3
- Use the variable instead of the struct name in the sizeof()
  function used in the array_size() function.
