[PATCH 1/5] ISDN-CAPI: Use kmalloc_array() in capidrv_addcontr()

A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
