From: HariKrishna Sagala <hariconscious@gmail.com>
Documentation/process/deprecated.rst recommends to avoid the use of
kmalloc with dynamic size calculations 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.
Replace kmalloc() with kmalloc_array()
