[PATCH v2] drm/gud: Use kmalloc_array() instead of kmalloc()

[Mehdi Ben Hadj Khelifa]

Replace kmalloc with kmalloc array in drm/gud/gud_pipe.c since the
calculation inside kmalloc is dynamic 'width * height' to avoid
overflow.

Changelog:

Changes since v1:
- Use of width as element count and height as size of element to
eliminate the mentionned calculation and overflow issues.

One nitpick here: the first parameter is the number of elements and the 
second parameter is the size of an individual element. [1] So the 
arguments 'width' and 'height' should be reversed.  Please resubmit.
