Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sparc: Use kmalloc_array() in three functions

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2016 09:52:44 +0200

* Multiplications for the size determination of memory allocations
  indicated that array data structures should be processed.
  Thus reuse the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Replace the specifications of data types by pointer dereferences
  to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
  the Linux coding style convention.
