[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] i40e/virtchnl: fix application of sizeof to pointer

[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] i40e/virtchnl: fix application of sizeof to pointer

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

sizeof when applied to a pointer typed expression gives the size of
the pointer.

The proper fix in this particular case is to code sizeof(*vfres)
instead of sizeof(vfres).

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
