block: bio: Use struct_size() in kmalloc()
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct bio_map_data {
	...
        struct iovec iov[];
};

instance = kmalloc(sizeof(sizeof(struct bio_map_data) + sizeof(struct iovec) *
                          count, GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, iov, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
