This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1].
As the "q" variable is a pointer to "struct xe_exec_queue" and this
structure ends in a flexible array:
struct xe_exec_queue {
[...]
struct xe_lrc lrc[];
};
the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
do the arithmetic instead of the argument "size + size * count" in the
kzalloc() function.
This way, the code is more readable and more safer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
