Subject: [PATCH] mailbox: arm_mhu_db: Fix mhu_db_shutdown by replacing kfree with devm_kfree

The mhu_db_channel info is allocated per channel using devm_kzalloc from
mhu_db_mbox_xlate which gets called from mbox_request_channel. However
we are releasing the allocated mhu_db_channel info using plain kfree from
mhu_db_shutdown which is called from mbox_free_channel.

This leads to random crashes when the channel is freed like below one:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0080000400000008

Fix it by replacing kfree with devm_kfree as required.
