s390/appldata_mem: do not use static data
Using static data for fields which are accessed by HW will fail if the driver is build as a module (since this would be vmalloc'ed memory). This Bug was revealed via "s390: remove virt_to_phys implementation" - the old virt_to_phys implementation would have translated the address but it was not guaranteed that the memory was contiguous.
