[PATCH 11/13] DRBD-receiver: Improve a size determination in receive_protocol()

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
