Fix sparse warning:
drivers/input/touchscreen/goodix.c:182:26: warning:
Variable length array is used.

Replace the variable length array with fixed length.

Hi,

this fixes the warning from sparse, but also changes the semantics of
the code: ts->max_touch_num is less that GOODIX_MAX_CONTACTS for 5
touches devices and in this case we'll end up using more memory than is
necessary.

Thanks,
   Antonio
