[PATCH] dmaengine: stm32-dma: Use struct_size() helper

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

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 stm32_dma_desc {
	...
        struct stm32_dma_sg_req sg_req[];
};


Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.

So, replace the following function:

static struct stm32_dma_desc *stm32_dma_alloc_desc(u32 num_sgs)
{
       return kzalloc(sizeof(struct stm32_dma_desc) +
                      sizeof(struct stm32_dma_sg_req) * num_sgs, GFP_NOWAIT);
}

with:

kzalloc(struct_size(desc, sg_req, num_sgs), GFP_NOWAIT)

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
