dm stripe: use struct_size() in kmalloc()
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct stripe_c { ... struct stripe stripe[0]; }; In this case alloc_context() and dm_array_too_big() are removed and replaced by the direct use of the struct_size() helper in kmalloc(). Notice that open-coded form is prone to type mistakes. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
