The first parameter is the number of elements. The second parameter is 
the size of an individual element. So the arguments should be swapped. 
Same for the other changes.

I know it's nitpicking, but who knows what it'll be good for. Fun fact 
is that even kmalloc_array mixes up both parameters internally.
