[PATCH v2 3/4] media: imx8-isi: fix isi->pipes memory leak in probe and remove

mxc_isi_probe() allocates isi->pipes with kzalloc_objs() but never
frees it on any probe failure path or in mxc_isi_remove(), leaking
the allocation on every failed probe and every normal unbind.

Fix this by switching from kzalloc_objs() to devm_kcalloc(), which
ties the allocation lifetime to the device and eliminates the need
for explicit kfree() in all error paths and in mxc_isi_remove().

Fixes: cf21f328fcaf ("media: nxp: Add i.MX8 ISI driver")
