As noted in the kernel documentation [1], open-coded multiplication in
allocator arguments is discouraged because it can lead to integer overflow.

Use kcalloc() to gain built-in overflow protection, making memory
allocation safer when calculating allocation size compared to explicit
multiplication.  Similarly, use size_add() instead of explicit addition
for 'uobj_chunk_num + sobj_chunk_num'.

v2: Changed explicit addition 'uobj_chunk_num + sobj_chunk_num' to use
    size_add().
v3: Revise the version description to keep it consistent with the changes.
