watch_queue: fix kcalloc() arguments order 

When compiling with gcc version 14.0.0 20231220 (experimental)
and W=1, I've noticed the following warning:

kernel/watch_queue.c: In function 'watch_queue_set_size':
kernel/watch_queue.c:273:32: warning: 'kcalloc' sizes specified with 'sizeof'
in the earlier argument and not in the later argument [-Wcalloc-transposed-args]
  273 |         pages = kcalloc(sizeof(struct page *), nr_pages, GFP_KERNEL);
      |                                ^~~~~~

Since 'n' and 'size' arguments of 'kcalloc()' are multiplied to
calculate the final size, their actual order doesn't affect the
result and so this is not a bug. But it's still worth to fix it.
