The only caller to this function (__print_array) was getting it wrong by
passing the array length instead of buffer length. As the element size
was already being passed for other reasons it seems reasonable to push
the calculation of buffer length into the function.

I take it you'll pick up Dave's reviewed-by?

As for CC'ing stable I wouldn't worry too much as nothing in the kernel
uses __print_array yet (unless you count the example). But it is a
fairly trivial patch so if you as the maintainer is happy I'm happy ;-)
