Subject: [PATCH] greybus: remove unused header variable in gb_operation_message_alloc()

cppcheck reports
drivers/greybus/operation.c:365:31: style: Variable 'header' is not assigned a value. [unassignedVariable]
 struct gb_operation_msg_hdr *header;
                              ^
header is only used to calculate the size of the messge.  This can be done without a variable
but rather with calling sizeof() with the struct type.
