drm/sun4i: Remove VLA usage

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
switches to using a kmalloc allocation and moves all the size calculations
to the start to do an allocation. If an upper bounds on the mode timing
calculations could be determined, a fixed stack size could be used instead.
