[PATCH] Staging: dream, fix buf overflow

From: Jiri Slaby

Not even compile-tested. I don't have an arm toolchain.

In vfe_send_msg_no_payload there is a wrong struct vfe_message allocation.
It allocates only sizeof(pointer to vfe_message) for a whole structure.
Add a dereference to the sizeof to allocate sizeof(vfe_message).
