[PATCH] ASoC: topology: Fix memory corruption in soc_tplg_denum_create_values()

The allocation uses sizeof(u32) when it should use sizeof(unsigned long)
so it leads to memory corruption later in the function when the data is
initialized.

This is from static analysis, not from testing.  Obviously we don't
want memory corruption, so my patch is an improvement.  But I feel like
a better approach might be to change the type of dvalues[] to u32.  I
took the less risky approach because I'm not an expert and can't test
it.  But if someone else can take a look at it, then I'll redo the
patch.
