From: Michal Jastrzebski <michalx.k.jastrzebski at 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: 144523, 144521
Fixes: 7ac16a3660c0 ("app/proc-info: support xstats by ID and by name")
