This fixes the warning, but then the now size_t value is passed
to ceph_decode_32_safe(), which implies a different type conversion.
That too is not harmful, but...

Could we just cast the value in the comparison instead?

You could drop the space between sizeof and ( while
you're at it (I always used the space back then).
