RDMA/mana_ib: Prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2]. As the "req" variable is a pointer to "struct mana_cfg_rx_steer_req_v2" and this structure ends in a flexible array: struct mana_cfg_rx_steer_req_v2 { [...] mana_handle_t indir_tab[] __counted_by(num_indir_entries); }; the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the calculation "size + size * count" in the kzalloc() function. Moreover, use the "offsetof" helper to get the indirect table offset instead of the "sizeof" operator and avoid the open-coded arithmetic in pointers using the new flex member. This new structure member also allow us to remove the "req_indir_tab" variable since it is no longer needed. This way, the code is more readable and safer. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and modified manually.
