Replace kmalloc() with kmalloc_array() in hv_common.c to make the intended allocation size clearer and avoid potential overflow issues. The number of pages (pgcount) is bounded, so overflow is not a practical concern here. However, using kmalloc_array() better reflects the intent to allocate an array and improves consistency with other allocations. No functional change intended.
