[PATCH] Bluetooth: Use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)

[PATCH] Bluetooth: Use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)

[Erick Archer]

It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)
due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not
change the former (unlike the latter). This patch has no effect
on runtime behavior.
