[PATCH 5/9] KVM: Improve size determinations in kvm_vcpu_ioctl()

[SF Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2017 17:11:16 +0100

Replace the specification of data structures by pointer dereferences
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
