[PATCH 2/3] pstore: Improve a size determination in three functions

[SF Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2017 20:50:15 +0200

Replace the specification of data types 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.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
