powerpc/pseries: Remove kmalloc call in handling writes to lparcfg
There are only 4 valid name=value pairs for writes to /proc/ppc64/lparcfg. Current code allocates a buffer to copy this information in from the user. Since the longest name=value pair will easily fit into a buffer of 64 characters, simply put the buffer on the stack instead of allocating the buffer.
