Subject[PATCH] audit: Use struct_size() helper in alloc_chunk
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 audit_chunk {
...
struct node {
struct list_head list;
struct audit_tree *owner;
unsigned index; /* index; upper bit indicates 'will prune' */
} owners[];
};

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:

offsetof(struct audit_chunk, owners) + count * sizeof(struct node);

with:

struct_size(chunk, owners, count)

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
