Subject: [PATCH 01/14] GPU-DRM-TTM: Use kmalloc_array() in two functions

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 14:00:31 +0200

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

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

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