This patch fixes the following problem indicated by kmemleak:

kmemleak: unreferenced object 0xdf93c280 (size 64):
kmemleak:   backtrace:
kmemleak:     [<c00df6d4>] create_object+0x104/0x200
kmemleak:     [<c00d7638>] kmem_cache_alloc+0xe4/0xf4
kmemleak:     [<c000fc38>] omap_devinit_smartreflex+0x44/0x244
kmemleak:     [<c003a33c>] do_one_initcall+0x5c/0x1b8
kmemleak:     [<c00083fc>] kernel_init+0x94/0x110
kmemleak:     [<c003ba04>] kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8

The reason is that 'omap_devinit_smartreflex()' allocates 'sr_data',
then passes it to 'omap_device_build()', which 'kmemdup()'s it and
uses the copy. But 'omap_devinit_smartreflex()' never frees 'sr_data'.

This patch make 'sr_data' to be a stack variable, which eliminates
the memory leak and simplifies the code a bit.

Note, I only compile-tested both of the patches, so be careful.
