Optimize memory allocation layout in sh_css_params.c by replacing
the raw multiplication inside kzalloc() with a type-safe kcalloc()
array allocation wrapper.

This prevents potential integer overflow vulnerabilities by validating
the array size calculations before interacting
with the kernel heap allocator, aligning the driver with modern kernel
memory allocation standards.

See my reply to v1.

While at it, you can switch to a more robust sizeof(*write_buf).
