[PATCH][V2] ima: Fix sizeof mismatches

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

An incorrect sizeof is being used, sizeof(*fields) is not correct,
it should be sizeof(**fields). This is not causing a problem since
the size of these is the same. Fix this. 

Also replace kmalloc_array and memcpy with a kmemdup.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Sizeof not portable (SIZEOF_MISMATCH)")
Fixes: 1bd7face7439 ("ima: allocate field pointers array on demand in template_desc_init_fields()")

V2: Replace kmalloc_array and memcpy with kmemdup as suggested by
    Joe Perches.
