[PATCH] crypto: qat - use kcalloc_node() instead of kzalloc_node()

[PATCH] crypto: qat - use kcalloc_node() instead of kzalloc_node()

[Erick Archer]

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.

So, use the purpose specific kcalloc_node() function instead of the
argument count * size in the kzalloc_node() function.
