The krealloc() call for cap_info->phys in __efi_capsule_setup_info() uses
sizeof(phys_addr_t *) instead of sizeof(phys_addr_t), which might be
causing an undersized allocation.

The allocation is also inconsistent with the initial array allocation in
efi_capsule_open() that allocates one entry with sizeof(phys_addr_t),
and the efi_capsule_write() function that stores phys_addr_t values (not
pointers) via page_to_phys().

On 64-bit systems where sizeof(phys_addr_t) == sizeof(phys_addr_t *), this
goes unnoticed. On 32-bit systems with PAE where phys_addr_t is 64-bit but
pointers are 32-bit, this allocates half the required space, which might
lead to a heap buffer overflow when storing physical addresses.

This is similar to the bug fixed in commit fccfa646ef36 ("efi/capsule-loader:
fix incorrect allocation size") which fixed the same issue at the initial
allocation site.
