devm_kasprintf() is used to allocate and format a string and the
returned pointer is assigned to 'cmd_cache_name'. However, the variable
'cmd_cache_name' is not effectively used.

Remove the dead code.

Looks good to me.

While I work at AMD, I don't work on this driver and I defer to
Basavaraj. But it's easy to verify that cmd_cache_name is indeed
unused.

BTW it looks like struct pt_device->dma_cmd_cache could also be
discarded.
