Subject: [PATCH net-next 5/5] ice: Simplify memory allocation in ice_sched_init_port()

From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

'buf' is locale to the ice_sched_init_port() function.
There is no point in using devm_kzalloc()/devm_kfree().

use kzalloc()/kfree() instead.

As a side effect, it also require less memory. devm_kzalloc() has a small
memory overhead, and requesting ICE_AQ_MAX_BUF_LEN (i.e. 4096) bytes,
8192 are really allocated.
