Subject: [PATCH 6/8] [media] videobuf-dma-sg: Improve a size determination in
 __videobuf_mmap_mapper()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2016 20:56:41 +0100

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