Take the size of a dereference to a variable rather than the associated
type, to make the code more resistant to type changes in the future.
The type of the pointer variable here is the same as the type in the
argument that is being replaced in sizeof().

Changes since v2:
 * Modified commit description to add that the pointer variable is of
   the same type.
