Documentation: Fix syntax of kmalloc_objs example in coding style doc

Browse Source 
The first parameter should match the variable that the allocated memory
is assigned to. Fix the example accordingly, the one for kmalloc_obj got
it right already.

The preferred form for allocating a zeroed array is the following:
.. code-block:: c
p = kzalloc_objs(*ptr, n, ...);
p = kzalloc_objs(*p, n, ...);
Both forms check for overflow on the allocation size n * sizeof(...),
and return NULL if that occurred.
