[PATCH] perf/x86/intel/uncore: Use struct_size() in kzalloc_node()

["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 intel_uncore_box {
        ...
        struct intel_uncore_extra_reg shared_regs[0];
};

size = sizeof(struct intel_uncore_box) + count * sizeof(struct intel_uncore_extra_reg);
instance = kzalloc_node(size, GFP_KERNEL, node);

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

instance = kzalloc_node(struct_size(instance, shared_regs, count), GFP_KERNEL,
node);

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

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
