[PATCH] backlight: led_bl: Use devm_kcalloc() for array space allocation

[Qianfeng Rong]

Replace calls of devm_kzalloc() with devm_kcalloc() in led_bl_get_leds()
and led_bl_parse_levels() for safer memory allocation with built-in
overflow protection.

I assume you scanned drivers/video/backlight to look for similar code
patterns in other backlight drivers? If you did it would have been
really helpful to say so in this part of the patch (because in it's
absence I had to do that myself).

However, the code changes are fine:

Yes, I scanned the entire system and there was only this one in 
drivers/video/backlight.
