Subject: [PATCH 04/46] selinux: Use kmalloc_array() in hashtab_create()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2017 12:06:13 +0100

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.
