Subject: [PATCH 43/46] selinux: Use kmalloc_array() in sidtab_init()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2017 13:13:19 +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.
