clk: hisilicon: Use devm_kcalloc() instead of devm_kzalloc()
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, use the purpose specific devm_kcalloc() function instead of the argument size * count in the devm_kzalloc() function.
