Erick Archer 5a18ea7d86 sctp: prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
[ Upstream commit e5c5f3596de224422561d48eba6ece5210d967b3 ]

This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2].

As the "ids" variable is a pointer to "struct sctp_assoc_ids" and this
structure ends in a flexible array:

struct sctp_assoc_ids {
	[...]
	sctp_assoc_t	gaids_assoc_id[];
};

the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
do the arithmetic instead of the calculation "size + size * count" in
the kmalloc() function.

Also, refactor the code adding the "ids_size" variable to avoid sizing
twice.

This way, the code is more readable and safer.

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