[PATCH 06/11] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use kcalloc() in kvmppc_alloc_host_rm_ops()

* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus use the corresponding function "kcalloc".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Delete the local variable "size" which became unnecessary
with this refactoring.

* Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
the Linux coding style convention.
