A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus use the corresponding function "devm_kcalloc".

You could also remove these unnecessary allocation error messages.
There is an existing dump_stack() on allocation failure.

Yes, the dump_stack() tells you which function had the allocation 
failure, but since there are multiple allocation operations in this same 
function, I find these helpful in knowing quickly which one of the 
allocations failed, without having to track down the symbols and source 
for whatever distro's kernel this might have happened in.

If you do chose the message, might as well add __GFP_NOWARN
to the allocation to avoid the dump_stack().

But honestly, if any allocation fails, you're OOM anyway.
