scsi: advansys: Prefer struct_size() over open-coded arithmetic
As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes, and
Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead to
values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the caller
was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear overflows of
heap memory and other misbehaviors.
Use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the argument
"size + count * size" in the kzalloc() function.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed
manually.
