[PATCH] rpmsg: glink: Use struct_size() helper

[PATCH] rpmsg: glink: Use struct_size() helper

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

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 {
	...
	struct intent_pair intents[];
} __packed * msg;

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.

So, replace the following form:

sizeof(*msg) + sizeof(struct intent_pair) * count

with:

struct_size(msg, intents, count)

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
