This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows:

  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#open-coded-arithmetic-in-allocator-arguments
  https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/160

As the "rapl_pmus" variable is a pointer to "struct rapl_pmus" and
this structure ends in a flexible array:

  struct rapl_pmus {
[...]
struct rapl_pmu *pmus[] __counted_by(maxdie);
  };

the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
do the arithmetic instead of the calculation "size + count * size" in
the kzalloc() function.

This way, the code is more readable and safer.
