[PATCH v2 5/8] soc: qcom: smd: Remove use of VLAIS

[Stephen Boyd]

Usage of VLAIS prevents clang from compiling this file, and it
also opens us to the possibility of allocating a large structure
on the stack to the point that we blow past the limit of the
kernel stack. Remove the VLAIS and allocate a structure on the
heap with kmalloc so that we're safer and more clang friendly.
