kcalloc/kmalloc_array are more semantically correct when allocating arrays
of objects, and overflow-safe.

I prefer kcalloc here as well, even if it isn't strictly necessary
according to the current usage of pin_attr.  That way, any future
changes to the pin handling code won't have to worry about
uninitialized memory.  After all, this is hardly a performance path.

And drop this then, please.

Thanks,
