[PATCH 1/2] sparc: Use kmalloc_array() in three functions

From: SF Markus Elfring

* Multiplications for the size determination of memory allocations
indicated that array data structures should be processed.
Thus reuse the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Replace the specifications of data types by pointer dereferences
to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
the Linux coding style convention.
