Subject: platform/x86: dell-laptop: Allocate buffer on heap rather than globally

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@dell.com>

commit 9862b43624a5450a097cc4122732857b869dbbca upstream.

There is no longer a need for the buffer to be defined in
first 4GB physical address space.

Furthermore there may be race conditions with multiple different functions
working on a module wide buffer causing incorrect results.

Fixes: 549b4930f057658dc50d8010e66219233119a4d8
