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.
