ocp-smart-extended-log: fix sizeof mismatch in malloc for get_c0_log_page()

[sahmed-ibm]

The get_c0_log_page() function allocates a buffer @DaTa to hold the C0 SMART extended log page, but passes sizeof of an unrelated scalar type as the malloc operand instead of sizeof of the struct @DaTa points to.

If the compiler inserts alignment padding into the struct, the allocation will be smaller than the struct size, causing a heap buffer overflow when the struct fields are accessed beyond the allocated region.

Fix by using sizeof(*data) to ensure the correct amount of memory is allocated and zeroed for the struct.

};

which is in hex 0x200. This matches

 #define C0_SMART_CLOUD_ATTR_LEN                 0x200     

and later in the code we do

	nvme_init_get_log(&cmd, NVME_NSID_ALL,
			  (enum nvme_cmd_get_log_lid)OCP_LID_SMART,
			  NVME_CSI_NVM, data, C0_SMART_CLOUD_ATTR_LEN);

As far I understand your argument is that the compiler might insert padding? If this would happen the data struct would be useless.
