Bluetooth: Prefer sizeof(*ptr) when allocating memory

It's safer practice to use sizeof(*ptr) instead of sizeof(ptr_type) when allocating memory in case the type changes. This also fixes the following style of warnings from static analyzers: CHECK: Prefer kzalloc(sizeof(*ie)...) over kzalloc(sizeof(struct inquiry_entry)...) + ie = kzalloc(sizeof(struct inquiry_entry), GFP_KERNEL); Signed-off-by: Johan Hedberg <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <[email protected]>
