mtd: cfi: use struct_size() helper for cfiq allocation

Documentation/process/deprecated.rst recommends against performing
dynamic size calculations in the arguments of memory allocator
function due to the risk of overflow. Such calculations can
wrap around and result in a smaller allocation than what the caller
was expecting.

Replace the size calculation in cfiq allocation with struct_size()
helper to make the code clearer and handle the overflows correctly.
