[PATCH 2/3] virtio_pci: Use kmalloc_array() in vp_request_msix_vectors()

A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus reuse the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
