Subject: [PATCH 4.10 035/167] staging/lustre/lnet: Fix allocation size for sv_cpt_data

4.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Oleg Drokin <green@...uxhacker.ru>

commit dc7ffefdcc28a45214aa707fdc3df6a5e611ba09 upstream.

This is unbreaking another of those "stealth" janitor
patches that got in and subtly broke some things.

sv_cpt_data is a pointer to pointer, so need to
dereference it twice to allocate the correct structure size.

Fixes: 9899cb68c6c2 ("Staging: lustre: rpc: Use sizeof type *pointer instead of sizeof type.")
