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 acpi_pnp_device_id_list {
	...
        struct acpi_pnp_device_id ids[1];       /* ID array */
};

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 form:

sizeof(struct acpi_pnp_device_id_list) + ((count - 1) * sizeof(struct acpi_pnp_device_id))

with:

struct_size(cid_list, ids, count - 1)

Notice that checkpatch reports the following warning:

WARNING: line over 80 characters
#54: FILE: drivers/acpi/acpica/utids.c:265:
+	cid_list_size = struct_size(cid_list, ids, count - 1) + string_area_size;

The line above is 81-character long. So, I think we should be fine
with that, instead of split it into two lines.

Thanks

 Gustavo
