platform: goldfish: pipe: replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc()

goldfish_pipe_open() allocates the per-pipe command buffer and
goldfish_pipe_device_init() allocates the buffers the device shares with
the host. Both are passed to the host as physical addresses and must be
physically contiguous, which kmalloc() guarantees.

These buffers can be allocated with kmalloc() as there's nothing special
about them to go directly to the page allocator.

kmalloc() provides a better API that does not require ugly casts and
kfree() does not need to know the size of the freed object.

Performance difference between kmalloc() and __get_free_pages() is not
measurable as both allocators take an object/page from a per-CPU list for
fast path allocations.

For the slow path the performance is anyway determined by the amount of
reclaim involved rather than by what allocator is used.

While on it, size both allocations after the structures they hold instead
of always taking a full page.

Replace use of __get_free_page() with kmalloc() and free_page() with
kfree().
