Multiplications for the size determination of memory allocations
indicated that array data structures should be processed.
Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

I am surprised that Coccinelle found a single instance of this pattern.
If there are more then I would suggest changing all of them at once
along with the coccinelle program which has been used.

There are still hundreds of similar update candidates left over for
other software modules. The acceptance is varying for the proposed
refactoring by the involved developers and source code reviewers.
