Erick Archer a7a3d73686 drm/xe: 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].

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.
