ieee802154: ca8210: fix pointer truncation in kfifo on 64-bit

ca8210_test_int_driver_write() and ca8210_test_int_user_read() exchange
a kmalloc'd buffer pointer through a struct kfifo, but pass a literal
'4' as the byte count to kfifo_in()/kfifo_out().

This is correct on 32-bit (pointer = 4 bytes), but on 64-bit only the
low 4 bytes of the 8-byte pointer are written into the FIFO. The reader
then reads back 4 bytes into an 8-byte local pointer variable, leaving
the upper 4 bytes uninitialized stack data. The first dereference of
the reconstructed pointer (fifo_buffer[1]) accesses an arbitrary kernel
address and generally results in an oops.

Use sizeof(fifo_buffer) so the byte count matches pointer width on every
architecture.

The driver has no architecture restriction in Kconfig, so any 64-bit
build with CONFIG_IEEE802154_CA8210_DEBUGFS=y is exposed. Issue has
been latent since the driver was added in 2017 because it is most
commonly deployed on 32-bit MCUs.

Found via a custom Coccinelle semantic patch hunting for short-byte
kfifo I/O on byte-mode kfifos used to shuttle pointers.
