[PATCH 1/2] hugetlbfs: Improve a size determination in two functions

From: Markus Elfring
Date: Fri Dec 29 2023 - 06:38:07 EST

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 according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
