From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

There are many possible devlink attributes, so having an array of them
on the stack can cause a warning for excessive stack usage:

net/devlink/rate.c: In function 'devlink_nl_rate_tc_bw_parse':
net/devlink/rate.c:382:1: error: the frame size of 1648 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

Change this to dynamic allocation instead.

Fixes: 566e8f108fc7 ("devlink: Extend devlink rate API with traffic classes bandwidth management")

I see that only two of the many array entries are actually used in this
function: DEVLINK_ATTR_RATE_TC_INDEX and DEVLINK_ATTR_RATE_TC_BW. If there
is an interface to extract just a single entry, using that would be
a little easier than the kcalloc().

v2: use __free() helper to simplify cleanup
