Subject: [PATCH] thermal: cpu_cooling: Use kmalloc_array() in
 __cpufreq_cooling_register()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2017 17:00:13 +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".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
