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.

I actually prefer that style, so I'd welcome this change :)

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.

Cleaning up old code is also worth something, even if does not change
one bit in the assembly output in the end...

Quite insignificant clean up it is that does more harm that gives any
benefit as any new change adds debt to backporting.

Anyway, this has been a useful patch set for me in the sense that I have
clearer picture now on discarding/accepting commits. One line minor
clean up will be from now on automatic NAK unless it causes a compiler
warning or some other visible side-effect.
