ehea: use get_zeroed_page for alignment-sensitive allocation

PAGE_SIZE allocations via slab are not guaranteed to be page-aligned; use get_zeroed_page for the 'pt' buffer (I don't really know what this is, only that it is passed to firmware and that the first error message complains about its alignment). This allows the system to boot. Signed-off-by: Nathan Lynch <ntl@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
