[PATCH 2/4] dma-buf: Improve a size determination in dma_buf_attach()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring at users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 8 May 2017 10:50:09 +0200

Replace the specification of a data structure 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.
