In build_cdat_table() we do:
*cdat_table = g_malloc0(sizeof(*cdat_table) * CXL_USP_CDAT_NUM_ENTRIES);
This is wrong because:
- cdat_table has type CDATSubHeader ***
- so *cdat_table has type CDATSubHeader **
- so the array we're allocating here should be items of type CDATSubHeader *
- but we pass sizeof(*cdat_table), which is sizeof(CDATSubHeader **),
implying that we're allocating an array of CDATSubHeader **
It happens that sizeof(CDATSubHeader **) == sizeof(CDATSubHeader *)
so nothing blows up, but this should be sizeof(**cdat_table).
Avoid this excessively hard-to-understand code by using
g_new0() instead, which will do the type checking for us.
While we're here, we can drop the useless check against failure,
as g_malloc0() and g_new0() never fail.
This fixes Coverity issue CID 1508120.
