Subject: staging/lustre/lnet: Fix allocation size for sv_cpt_data

From: Oleg Drokin <[email protected]>

commit dc7ffefdcc28a45214aa707fdc3df6a5e611ba09 upstream.

This is unbreaking another of those "stealth" janitor patches that got in and subtly broke some things.

sv_cpt_data is a pointer to pointer, so need to dereference it twice to allocate the correct structure size.
