[media] media: platform: vivid: vivid-osd: Remove unnecessary cast to kfree 

Author: Amitoj Kaur Chawla <amitoj1606@gmail.com>

Remove an unnecassary cast in the argument to kfree.

Found using Coccinelle. The semantic patch used to find this is as follows:

//
@@
type T;
expression *f;
@@

- kfree((T *)(f));
+ kfree(f);
//
