[PATCH] drivers/pps/clients/pps-gpio.c: use devm_kzalloc

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx>

devm_kzalloc allocates memory that is released when a driver detaches.
This patch uses devm_kzalloc for data that is allocated in the probe
function of a platform device and is only freed in the remove function.
