clk: npcm7xx: fix memory allocation

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct foo {
	int stuff;
        void *entry[];
};

instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count,
GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

Notice that, currently, there is a bug during the allocation:

sizeof(npcm7xx_clk_data) should be sizeof(*npcm7xx_clk_data)

Fix this bug by using struct_size() in kzalloc()

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
