staging: ccree: remove unnecessary cast on kmalloc

The assignment operator implicitly converts a void pointer to the type of the
pointer it is assigned to.

This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:

@@
expression * e;
expression arg1, arg2;
type T;
@@

- e=(T*)
+ e=
kmalloc(arg1, arg2);
