[PATCH] ima: Fix sizeof mismatches

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

An incorrect sizeof is being used, sizeof(*fields) is not correct,
it should be sizeof(**fields). This is not causing a problem since
the size of these is the same. Fix this in the kmalloc_array and
memcpy calls.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Sizeof not portable (SIZEOF_MISMATCH)")
Fixes: 1bd7face7439 ("ima: allocate field pointers array on demand in template_desc_init_fields()")
