kho: increase metadata bitmap size to PAGE_SIZE

KHO memory preservation metadata is preserved in 512 byte chunks which
requires their allocation from slab allocator.  Slabs are not safe to be
used with KHO because of kfence, and because partial slabs may lead leaks
to the next kernel.  Change the size to be PAGE_SIZE.

The kfence specifically may cause memory corruption, where it randomly
provides slab objects that can be within the scratch area.  The reason for
that is that kfence allocates its objects prior to KHO scratch is marked
as CMA region.

While this change could potentially increase metadata overhead on systems
with sparsely preserved memory, this is being mitigated by ongoing work to
reduce sparseness during preservation via 1G guest pages.  Furthermore,
this change aligns with future work on a stateless KHO, which will also
use page-sized bitmaps for its radix tree metadata.
