dp_reo_cache_flush_elem element get dynamically allocated with invalid size
which leads to the access of unallocated memory region or memory corruption.
Fix this bug by allocate with dp_reo_cache_flush_elem structure size.

BTW, you could have put all these checkpatch cleanup patches into one
patchset (ie. one patcheset with 11 patches). Easier to manage them that
way. If the patches are somehow related it's usually a good idea to
combine them to the same patchset.
