[PATCH net-next] netfilter: xt_recent: Use struct_size() in kvzalloc()

["Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavo@embeddedor.com>]

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 foo {
    int stuff;
    void *entry[];
};

size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(void *);
instance = alloc(size, GFP_KERNEL)

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

size = struct_size(instance, entry, count);
instance = alloc(size, GFP_KERNEL)

Notice that, in this case, variable sz is not necessary, hence it is
removed.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
