Subject: [PATCH v2] crypto: Use struct_size() helper in kmalloc()

Make use of struct_size() heler for structures containing flexible array
member instead of sizeof() which prevents potential issues as well as
addressing the following sparse warning:

crypto/asymmetric_keys/asymmetric_type.c:155:23: warning: using sizeof
on a flexible structure
crypto/asymmetric_keys/asymmetric_type.c:247:28: warning: using sizeof
on a flexible structure

Reference: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/174

v2:
    Use size_add() helper following Kees Cook's suggestion.
