powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: use kmem_cache instead of aligned stack allocations

Ian pointed out the use of __aligned(4096) caused rather large stack
consumption in single_24x7_request(), so use the kmem_cache
hv_page_cache (which we've already got set up for other allocations)
insead of allocating locally.
