sctp: prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
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.
