This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1].

Here the multiplication is obviously safe because the "event_rings"
member never can have a value greater than 255 (8 bits). This member
is set twice using always FIELD_GET:

mhi_cntrl->event_rings = FIELD_GET(MHICFG_NER_MASK, regval);
mhi_cntrl->event_rings = FIELD_GET(MHICFG_NER_MASK, regval);

And the MHICFG_NER_MASK macro defines the 8 bits mask that guarantees
a maximum value of 255.

However, using kcalloc() is more appropriate [1] and improves
readability. This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.
