Subject: [PATCH 2/3] SCSI-sg: Improve a size determination in sg_alloc()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2017 21:55:14 +0200

Replace the specification of a data type 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.
