Subject: [PATCH 6/9] IB/iser: Use kmalloc_array() in
 iser_alloc_rx_descriptors()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 7 Apr 2017 21:23:29 +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".

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