Replace devm_kzalloc() (line 1881) with kzalloc() in tegra_vi_probe()
since memory must be freed manually in error paths. Freed via kfree() in
rpm_disable, as recommended in the file comment (line 1204).

The comment is specific to "chan".

Your patch introduces a number of memory leaks and it's not
correct.
