Subject: [PATCH] s390/hypfs: Use kmalloc_array() in diag0c_store()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2016 11:30:58 +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 "kmalloc_array".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
