Subject: [PATCH][next] perf/x86/intel/uncore: Use struct_size() in
 kzalloc_node()

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes. Also, remove unnecessary
variable _size_.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle and, audited and
fixed manually.
