Make use of struct_size() heler for structures containing flexible array
member instead of sizeof() which prevents potential issues as well as
addressing the following sparse warning:

crypto/asymmetric_keys/asymmetric_type.c:155:23: warning: using sizeof
on a flexible structure
crypto/asymmetric_keys/asymmetric_type.c:247:28: warning: using sizeof
on a flexible structure

Reference: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/174

v2:
    Use size_add() helper following Kees Cook's suggestion.

The warnings above are not silenced with this patch as struct_size()
internally use sizeof on the struct-with-flex-array.

However, the use of struct_size() instead of the open-coded expressions
in the calls to kmalloc() is correct.

I updated this issue on the issue tracker. Please, from now on, just
use that issue as a list of potential open-coded instances to be
audited. :)

Thanks for the review Gustavo.

I'll send a v3 patch and update the commit message. Maybe refer to the 
mail from Linus instead.
