[PATCH 1/1] hvcs: Ensure page aligned partner info buffer

[Brian King <brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

The Power platform requires the partner info buffer to be page aligned
otherwise it will fail the partner info hcall with H_PARAMETER. Switch
from using kmalloc to allocate this buffer to __get_free_page to ensure
page alignment.
