Subject: [PATCH 1/7] AGPGART: Use kmalloc_array() in
 compat_agpioc_reserve_wrap()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2016 17:51:32 +0200

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

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
