* The script "checkpatch.pl" can point out that assignments should usually
not be performed within condition checks.
Thus move an assignment for a local variable to a separate statement
in this function.
* 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.
