After adding __alloc_size attributes to the allocators, GCC 9.3 (but not
later) may incorrectly evaluate the arguments to check_copy_size(),
getting seemingly confused by the size being returned from array_size().
Instead, perform the calculation once, which both makes the code more
readable and avoids the bug in GCC.

But the allocation size and the copy size are identical:

	transfer = vmalloc(array_size(sizeof(*transfer), transaction.count));
	if (!transfer)
		return -ENOMEM;

	if (unlikely(copy_from_user(transfer,
				    (void __user *)(uintptr_t)transaction.block,
				    array_size(sizeof(*transfer), transaction.count)))) {
