[PATCH 4/4] staging: greybus: power_supply: Use kcalloc() in gb_power_supplies_setup()

* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
  indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
  Thus use the corresponding function "kcalloc".

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

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

Fixes: ffe2e2487a388cf01ec44439346363aa8d654cd4 ("greybus: power_supply: rework and operation changes")
