*new* kmalloc_wrong_size: checks the element size for an array
If we have code like:
p = kmalloc(n * sizeof(struct foo), GFP_KERNEL);
and *p is a different size from sizeof(struct foo) then this complains.
It found one bug in the kernel where we changed the type of "p" but forgot
to change the size of the allocation.
