    dm stats: use struct_size() helper · fb16c799
    Gustavo A. R. Silva authored
    One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
    the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
    with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
    
    struct dm_stat {
    	...
            struct dm_stat_shared stat_shared[0];
    };
    
    Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
    in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.
    
    So, replace the following form:
    
    sizeof(struct dm_stat) + (size_t)n_entries * sizeof(struct dm_stat_shared)
    
    with:
    
    struct_size(s, stat_shared, n_entries)
    
    This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
