kho: allocate metadata directly from the buddy allocator

kho: allocate metadata directly from the buddy allocator

KHO allocates metadata for its preserved memory map using the slab
allocator via kzalloc().  This metadata is temporary and is used by the
next kernel during early boot to find preserved memory.

A problem arises when KFENCE is enabled.  kzalloc() calls can be randomly
intercepted by kfence_alloc(), which services the allocation from a
dedicated KFENCE memory pool.  This pool is allocated early in boot via
memblock.

When booting via KHO, the memblock allocator is restricted to a "scratch
area", forcing the KFENCE pool to be allocated within it.  This creates a
conflict, as the scratch area is expected to be ephemeral and
overwriteable by a subsequent kexec.  If KHO metadata is placed in this
KFENCE pool, it leads to memory corruption when the next kernel is loaded.

To fix this, modify KHO to allocate its metadata directly from the buddy
allocator instead of slab.
