[PATCH 2/4] perf/x86/cqm: Replace two kmalloc() calls by kmalloc_array() in intel_mbm_init()

1. A multiplication for the size determination of memory allocations
indicated that array data structures should be processed.
Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

2. Replace the specification of a data structure by pointer dereferences
to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
the Linux coding style convention.

3. Delete the local variable "array_size" which became unnecessary
with this refactoring.
