platform/x86: hp-wmi: Changing bios_args.data to be dynamically allocated

The purpose of this patch is to remove 128 bytes buffer limitation
imposed in bios_args structure.

A limiting factor discovered during this investigation was the struct
bios_args.data size restriction.  The data member size limits all
possible WMI commands to those requiring buffer size of 128 bytes or
less. Several WMI commands and queries require a buffer size larger
than 128 bytes hence limiting current and feature supported by the
driver. It is for this reason, struct bios_args.data changed and is
dynamically allocated.  hp_wmi_perform_query function changed to
handle the memory allocation and release of any required buffer size.

All changes were validated on a HP ZBook Workstation notebook,
HP EliteBook x360, and HP EliteBook 850 G8.  Additional
validation was included in the test process to ensure no other
commands were incorrectly handled.
