This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2].
As the "cmd_buf" variable is a pointer to "struct at76_command" and
this structure ends in a flexible array:
struct at76_command {
[...]
u8 data[];
} __packed;
the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
do the arithmetic instead of the calculation "size + count" in the
kmalloc() function.
Also, declare a new variable (total_size) since the return value of the
struct_size() helper is used several times.
At the same time, prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang
of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with
__counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for
strcpy/memcpy-family functions). In this case, it is important to note
that the attribute used is "__counted_by_le" since the counter type is
"__le16".
This way, the code is more readable and safer.
