Erick Archer ae6a233092 drm/radeon/radeon_display: Decrease the size of allocated memory
This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1] [2].

In this case, the memory allocated to store RADEONFB_CONN_LIMIT pointers
to "drm_connector" structures can be avoided. This is because this
memory area is never accessed.

Also, in the kzalloc function, it is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer)
instead of sizeof(type) due to the type of the variable can change and
one needs not change the former (unlike the latter).

At the same time take advantage to remove the "#if 0" block, the code
where the removed memory area was accessed, and the RADEONFB_CONN_LIMIT
constant due to now is never used.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
