Subject: s390/topology: correct allocation of topology information

From: Martin Schwidefsky <[email protected]>

commit 8676caa4fb7fc02b2c76842a0024919d0caa4b8d upstream.

The data stored by the STSI instruction can be up to a page in size but the memblock_virt_alloc allocation for tl_info only specifies 16 bytes. The memory after the short allocation is overwritten every time arch_update_cpu_topology is called.
