[PATCH 3/5] misc/pti: Improve a size determination in two functions

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfr...@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2018 18:28:44 +0100

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 issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
