[PATCH 1/2] tty-ehv_bytechan: Use kcalloc() in ehv_bc_init()

[SF Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>

* 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.

* 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.
