[PATCH][next] fbdev/fb.h: Use struct_size() helper in kzalloc()

flat view
STALE2281d

From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavoars@kernel.org>
Date: 2020-06-17 17:51:31
Also in: dri-devel, lkml
Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle and, audited and
fixed manually.
