PATCH 1/1 igb: use struct_size() helper

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;
    struct boo entry[];
};

size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo); instance = alloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);

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

size = struct_size(instance, entry, count);

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
