Kees Cook d67790ddf0 overflow: Add struct_size_t() helper
While struct_size() is normally used in situations where the structure
type already has a pointer instance, there are places where no variable
is available. In the past, this has been worked around by using a typed
NULL first argument, but this is a bit ugly. Add a helper to do this,
and replace the handful of instances of the code pattern with it.

Instances were found with this Coccinelle script:

@struct_size_t@
identifier STRUCT, MEMBER;
expression COUNT;
@@

-       struct_size((struct STRUCT *)\(0\|NULL\),
+       struct_size_t(struct STRUCT,
                MEMBER, COUNT)

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
