    percpu: Use struct_size() helper · 14d37612

    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 pcpu_alloc_info {
    	...
            struct pcpu_group_info  groups[];
    };
    
    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(*ai) + nr_groups * sizeof(ai->groups[0])
    
    with:
    
    struct_size(ai, groups, nr_groups)
    
    This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
