[PATCH 5/5] security/selinux/ss: correct size computation

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <ju...@diku.dk>

The size argument to kcalloc should be the size of desired structure,
not the pointer to it.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@expression@
expression *x;
@@

x =
<+...
-sizeof(x)
+sizeof(*x)
...+>// </smpl>

no real hurry, to get this in, the sizeof() is the same in either case,
but it should be fixed.
