Use on-stack smaller buffers instead of dynamic pages.
The motivation for this change was to address lockdep splat when
signal handling code calls show_regs (with preemption disabled) and
ARC show_regs calls into sleepable page allocator.
| potentially unexpected fatal signal 11.
| BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ../mm/page_alloc.c:4317
| in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 57, name: segv
| no locks held by segv/57.
| Preemption disabled at:
| [<8182f17e>] get_signal+0x4a6/0x7c4
| CPU: 0 PID: 57 Comm: segv Not tainted 4.17.0+ #23
|
| Stack Trace:
| arc_unwind_core.constprop.1+0xd0/0xf4
| __might_sleep+0x1f6/0x234
| __get_free_pages+0x174/0xca0
| show_regs+0x22/0x330

| do_signal+0x30/0x224
| resume_user_mode_begin+0x90/0xd8
Despite this, lockdep still barfs (see next change), but this patch
still has merit as in we use smaller/localized buffers now and there's
less instructoh trace to sift thru when debugging pesky issues.
