Enabling KASAN and running some iperf tests raises some memory issues with
vmm_table:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in wilc_wlan_handle_txq+0x6ac/0xdb4
Write of size 4 at addr c3a61540 by task wlan0-tx/95

KASAN detects that we are writing data beyond range allocated to vmm_table.
There is indeed a mismatch between the size passed to allocator in
wilc_wlan_init, and the range of possible indexes used later: allocation
size is missing a multiplication by sizeof(u32)

Changes in v2:
- keep dedicated dynamic allocation for vmm_table
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231013-wilc1000_tx_oops-v1-1-3761beb9524d@xxxxxxxxxxx

this is probably OK since the values are constant, but kcalloc() is generally preferred

if (!wilc->vmm_table) {
