Subject: [PATCH 3.16 004/157] iio: Use kmalloc_array() in iio_scan_mask_set()

3.16.72-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

commit 057ac1acdfc4743f066fcefe359385cad00549eb upstream.

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.
