Subject: [PATCH v2] scsi: csiostor: Use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc()

Use 2-factor multiplication argument form kcalloc() instead
of kzalloc().

Also, it is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of
sizeof(type) due to the type of the variable can change and
one needs not change the former (unlike the latter).
