This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1].

Here the multiplication is obviously safe because the "channels"
member can only be 8 or 2. This value is set when the "vendor_data"
structs are initialized.

static struct vendor_data vendor_pl080 = {
	[...]
	.channels = 8,
	[...]
};

static struct vendor_data vendor_nomadik = {
	[...]
	.channels = 8,
	[...]
};

static struct vendor_data vendor_pl080s = {
	[...]
	.channels = 8,
	[...]
};

static struct vendor_data vendor_pl081 = {
	[...]
	.channels = 2,
	[...]
};

However, using kcalloc() is more appropriate [1] and improves
readability. This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.
