We can use kvfree() instead of calling kfree() and vfree() based on if-else and param_flags. kvfree() will check the type of address and will call the respective function to free it. Additionally we can also remove the use of DM_PARAMS_KMALLOC and DM_PARAMS_VMALLOC. Signed-off-by: Sudip Mukherjee <sudip.mukherjee@codethink.co.uk>
