Subject: net/mlx5: DR, Prefer kcalloc over open coded arithmetic
Patch-mainline: v5.16-rc1
Git-commit: 0e6f3ef469bbf69ea6840aa4d15dcfc8ce978760
References: jsc#SLE-19253

As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments 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. Using those allocations could lead to linear
overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.

So, refactor the code a bit to use the purpose specific kcalloc()
function instead of the argument size * count in the kzalloc() function.
