hwmon: (hp-wmi-sensors) Fix info_map[] allocation type
In preparation for making the devm_kmalloc family of allocators type
aware, we need to make sure that the returned type from the allocation
matches the type of the variable being assigned. (Before, the allocator
would always return "void *", which can be implicitly cast to any
pointer type.)
The assigned type of "info_map[type]" is "struct hp_wmi_info **", but
the converted allocation type would be "struct hp_wmi_info ***", as the
size was taken from "*info_map", which is one level of indirection too
many. Luckily both element types are pointers of the same size. Take the
size from the element type of the assignment target.
Build tested ARCH=x86_64 allmodconfig with GCC 16.2.0:
