Subject: [PATCH][next] mlxsw: spectrum_kvdl: Use struct_size() helper in
 kzalloc()

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version,
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes or integer overflows that,
in the worst scenario, could lead to heap overflows.

Also, address the following sparse warnings:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum1_kvdl.c:229:24: warning: using sizeof on a flexible structure
