The functions vmalloc_array and vcalloc were introduced in

commit a8749a35c399 ("mm: vmalloc: introduce array allocation functions")

but are not used much yet.  This series introduces uses of
these functions, to protect against multiplication overflows.

The changes were done using the following Coccinelle semantic
patch.

@initialize:ocaml@

let rename alloc =
  match alloc with
    "vmalloc" -> "vmalloc_array"
  | "vzalloc" -> "vcalloc"
  | _ -> failwith "unknown"

    typedef __u8;
    type t = {u8,__u8,char,unsigned char};
    identifier alloc = {vmalloc,vzalloc};
    fresh identifier realloc = script:ocaml(alloc) { rename alloc };

)

v2: This series uses vmalloc_array and vcalloc instead of
array_size.  It also leaves a multiplication of a constant by a
sizeof as is.  Two patches are thus dropped from the series.
