Subject: [PATCH 23/29] IB/mlx4: Improve size determinations in
 create_qp_common()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2017 18:29:30 +0100

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