[PATCH v2] Staging: rtl8192e: make sizeof type-independent

[Felix Schlepper]

Making sizeof operator type-independent.

Reported by checkpatch:

CHECK: Prefer kmalloc(sizeof(*txb)...) over
        kmalloc(sizeof(struct rtllib_txb)...)

---
Note: First patch, trying to follow kernelnewbies tutorial.

Signed-off-by: Felix Schlepper <f3sch.git@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v2:
 - replaced kmalloc with kzalloc against memory initialization defects,
   thus also removing a memset
 - made error handling more consistent
