Subject: rapidio: avoid bogus __alloc_size warning

GCC 9.3 (but not later) incorrectly evaluates 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.

   In file included from arch/x86/include/asm/preempt.h:7,
                    from include/linux/preempt.h:78,
                    from include/linux/spinlock.h:55,
                    from include/linux/mm_types.h:9,
                    from include/linux/buildid.h:5,
                    from include/linux/module.h:14,
                    from drivers/rapidio/devices/rio_mport_cdev.c:13:
   In function 'check_copy_size',
       inlined from 'copy_from_user' at include/linux/uaccess.h:191:6,
       inlined from 'rio_mport_transfer_ioctl' at drivers/rapidio/devices/rio_mport_cdev.c:983:6:
   include/linux/thread_info.h:213:4: error: call to '__bad_copy_to' declared with attribute error: copy destination size is too small
     213 |    __bad_copy_to();
         |    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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)))) {
