[PATCH] hidma_mgmt_sys: Use devm_kmalloc_array() in hidma_mgmt_init_sys()

[PATCH] hidma_mgmt_sys: Use devm_kmalloc_array() in hidma_mgmt_init_sys()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>

* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
  indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
  Thus use the corresponding function "devm_kmalloc_array".

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Delete the local variable "required" which became unnecessary
  with this refactoring.
