arm: sys_oabi-compat: Use kmalloc_array() in two functions

It should at least make basic English sense.  I'm afraid the above
doesn't convey any meaning what so ever, at least to me.  It doesn't
matter how many times I read it, I still end up wondering "wtf is
this trying to tell me?"
I have started to look a bit more on the usage of the following
function pairs in some Linux source files.

kmalloc() ? kmalloc_array()
kzalloc() ? kcalloc()

Can such combinations be extended anyhow?


Some update candidates can be found for this use case in several
software areas.

Regards,
Markus
