bcachefs: Prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2]. As the "op" variable is a pointer to "struct promote_op" and this structure ends in a flexible array: struct promote_op { [...] struct bio_vec bi_inline_vecs[]; }; and the "t" variable is a pointer to "struct journal_seq_blacklist_table" and this structure also ends in a flexible array: struct journal_seq_blacklist_table { [...] struct journal_seq_blacklist_table_entry { u64 start; u64 end; bool dirty; } entries[]; }; the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the argument "size + size * count" in the kzalloc() functions. This way, the code is more readable and safer.
