Replace the specification of data structures by pointer dereferences
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding
size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style
convention.

This patch does one style in favor of the other.

At the end it's Jarkko's call, though I would NAK this as I think some
one already told this to you for some other similar patch(es).


I even would suggest to stop doing this noisy stuff, which keeps people
busy for nothing.

I favor using "sizeof(*foo)" for pointers but as a part of a commit where
something useful is done to the corresponding line of code.

So, I would say it's a NAK.
