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 in the kmalloc_array and
memcpy calls.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Sizeof not portable (SIZEOF_MISMATCH)")
Fixes: 1bd7face7439 ("ima: allocate field pointers array on demand in
template_desc_init_fields()")
Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <redacted>
Thanks Colin.
