[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] ethdev: fix wrong sizeof argument in malloc function

[Kuba Kozak]

From: Michal Jastrzebski <michalx.k.jastrzeb...@intel.com>

Coverity reported that an argument for sizeof was used improperly. 
We should allocate memory for value size that pointer points to,
instead of pointer size itself. 

Coverity issue: 144522
Fixes: 79c913a42f0e ("ethdev: retrieve xstats by ID")
