Subject: [PATCH 3.2 24/52] can: Use correct type in sizeof() in nla_put()

3.2.74-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marek Vasut <marex@...x.de>

commit 562b103a21974c2f9cd67514d110f918bb3e1796 upstream.

The sizeof() is invoked on an incorrect variable, likely due to some
copy-paste error, and this might result in memory corruption. Fix this.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Keep using the old NLA_PUT macro
 - Adjust context]
