Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: vmalloc: introduce array allocation functions

From: Alexander Ofitserov <oficerovas@...linux.org>

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

commit a8749a35c399 ("mm: vmalloc: introduce array allocation functions")

Linux has dozens of occurrences of vmalloc(array_size()) and
vzalloc(array_size()).  Allow to simplify the code by providing
vmalloc_array and vcalloc, as well as the underscored variants that let
the caller specify the GFP flags.
