Subject: [PATCH] memory: samsung: exynos5422-dmc: Avoid some over memory allocation

'dmc->counter' is a 'struct devfreq_event_dev **', so there is some
over memory allocation. 'counters_size' should be computed with
'sizeof(struct devfreq_event_dev *)'.

Use 'sizeof(*dmc->counter)' instead to fix it.

While at it, use devm_kcalloc() instead of devm_kzalloc()+open coded
multiplication.

Fixes: 6e7674c3c6df ("memory: Add DMC driver for Exynos5422")

devm_kmalloc_array() could also be used to save a few cycles because the
array is fully initialized a few lines below.
