Subject[PATCH] perf/x86/rapl: Prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
Date
This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2].

As the "rapl_pmus" variable is a pointer to "struct rapl_pmus" and
this structure ends in a flexible array:

struct rapl_pmus {
[...]
struct rapl_pmu *pmus[] __counted_by(maxdie);
};

the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
do the arithmetic instead of the calculation "size + count * size" in
the kzalloc() function.

This way, the code is more readable and safer.
