We are trying to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions to prevent integer overflows[1]. Here the multiplication is
obviously safe, but using kcalloc() is more appropriate and improves
readability. This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.

Applied to nand/next, thanks!

[1/1] mtd: rawnand: use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc()
      commit: 34684bb5e43609ba8ac1a54c4e585493c5486cab

Patche(s) should be available on mtd/linux.git and will be
part of the next PR (provided that no robot complains by then).

Kind regards,
Miquèl
