The kzalloc() doesn't check for overflows in size multiplication,
so use kcalloc() instead.

Practically, overflow seems highly unlikely here given the maximum values of
nr_levels and nr_node_ids.

However, since the code path is used only once during the boot initialization,
it shouldn't hurt to have this change.
