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.
