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 {
...
struct intent_pair intents[];
} __packed * msg;
Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.
So, replace the following form:
sizeof(*msg) + sizeof(struct intent_pair) * count
with:
struct_size(msg, intents, count)
