Subject: [PATCH v2] rtla/utils: Use calloc and check the potential memory allocation failure

Replace malloc with calloc and add memory allocating check
of mon_cpus before used.

Fixes: 7d0dc9576dc3 ("rtla/timerlat: Add --dma-latency option")

V1 -> V2: using calloc, removing the memset and goto err
	  instead of returning when allocation fails.
