Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/perf/hv-gpci: Increase request buffer size

The GPCI hcall allows for a 4K buffer but we limit the buffer
to 1K. The problem with a 1K buffer is if a request results in
returning more values than can be accomodated in the 1K buffer
the request will fail.

The buffer we are using is currently allocated on the stack and
hence limited in size. Instead use a per-CPU 4K buffer like we do
with 24x7 counters (hv-24x7.c).
