[PATCH 2/3] dm-target: use pointer reference instead of making a copy

[crquan]

From: Cheng Renquan <crquan@xxxxxxxxx>

The tt_internal always use target_type read-only, so there's no need to
making a copy, just a pointer reference is good, this could save
 (sizeof(target_type) - sizeof(pointer)) bytes memory per target_type.

  -		ti->tt = *t;
  +		ti->tt = t;
