Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rcutorture: Use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc()

Use kcalloc() in rcu_torture_writer() to gain built-in overflow protection,
making memory allocation safer when calculating allocation size compared to
explicit multiplication.

Change sizeof(ulo[0]) and sizeof(rgo[0]) to sizeof(*ulo) and sizeof(*rgo),
as this is more consistent with coding conventions.
