Subject: [PATCH] crypto: Use struct_size() helper in kmalloc()

Make use of struct_size() heler for structures containing flexible array
member instead of sizeof() which prevents potential issues as well as
addressing the following sparse warning:

crypto/asymmetric_keys/asymmetric_type.c:155:23: warning: using sizeof
on a flexible structure
crypto/asymmetric_keys/asymmetric_type.c:247:28: warning: using sizeof
on a flexible structure

Please use the size_add() helper for this open-coded add here.

There is no size_div(), but that's ok here because the denominator is an
constant expression.
