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.

Have you actually tested htis?  Last time I looked to do this it exposed
crashes.  I don't have time to dig into this again right now but this is
_not_ as simple as this patch implies.

No, it was just build tested. Is it possible to test it in qemu or kvm?
