[PATCH 01/18] HID: Use kmalloc_array() in hid_input_field()

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

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
