perf tools: Fix calloc() arguments to address error introduced in gcc-14

the definition of calloc is as follows:

    void *calloc(size_t nmemb, size_t size);

number of members is in the first parameter and the size is in the
second parameter.

Fix error messages on gcc 14 20240102:

  error: 'calloc' sizes specified with 'sizeof' in the earlier argument and
  not in the later argument [-Werror=calloc-transposed-args]

Committer notes:

I noticed this on fedora 40 and rawhide.
