ocfs2/dlm: 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 dlm_migratable_lockres
  {
          ...
          struct dlm_migratable_lock ml[0];  // 16 bytes each, begins at byte 112
  };

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(struct dlm_migratable_lockres) + (mres->num_locks * sizeof(struct dlm_migratable_lock))

with:

   struct_size(mres, ml, mres->num_locks)

Notice that, in this case, variable sz is not necessary, hence it is
removed.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
