[PATCH 5/5] um: ubd: Improve size determinations in do_ubd_request()

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

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2017 22:38:04 +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.
