mtd: maps: sa1100-flash: Prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2].
As the "info" variable is a pointer to "struct sa_info" and this
structure ends in a flexible array:
struct sa_info {
[...]
struct sa_subdev_info subdev[];
};
the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
do the arithmetic instead of the calculation "size + size * count" in
the kzalloc() function.
This way, the code is more readable and safer.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and
modified manually.
