Subject: [net-next 2/9] i40e: future proof some sizeof calls

From: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@...el.com>

Make sure the sizeof() calls are taking the size of the actual struct
that we care about.  By using the pointer variable, we'll always get
the right struct size, even if the variable type changes sometime in
the future.
