[PATCH] drivers/mtd/devices/bcm47xxsflash.c: correct argument to kfree

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall at lip6.fr>

The argument to kfree should not be the address of a structure field.
The argument is adjusted to correspond to what is found in the subsequent
remove function.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression e;
identifier f;
@@

* kfree(&e->f)
// </smpl>
