powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Use per-cpu page buffer

The 24x7 counters are continuously running and not updated on an
interrupt. So we record the event counts when stopping the event or
deleting it.

But to "read" a single counter in 24x7, we allocate a page and pass it
into the hypervisor (The HV returns the page full of counters from which
we extract the specific counter for this event).

We allocate a page using GFP_USER and when deleting the event, we end up
with the following warning because we are blocking in interrupt context.

  [  698.641709] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0/0x10010000

We could use GFP_ATOMIC but that could result in failures. Pre-allocate
a buffer so we don't have to allocate in interrupt context. Further as
Michael Ellerman suggested, use Per-CPU buffer so we only need to
allocate once per CPU.
