CLEANUP: Do not use a fixed type for 'sizeof' in 'calloc'

Changes performed using the following coccinelle patch:

    @@
    type T;
    expression E;
    expression t;
    @@

    (
      t = calloc(E, sizeof(*t))
    |
    - t = calloc(E, sizeof(T))
    + t = calloc(E, sizeof(*t))
    )

Looking through the commit history, grepping for coccinelle shows that the same
replacement with a different patch was already performed in the past in commit
02779b6263a177b1e462e53db6eaf57bcda574bc.
