In the very unlikely event of a failure in __map_hyp, the allocated
backing pages are leaked in hyp_trace_buffer_alloc_bpages_backing(). Fix
this by freeing the pages on error.

The footprint calculated for struct hyp_trace_desc sizes only
trace_buffer_desc and do not take into account the other fields. It
worked so far thanks to the follow-up PAGE_ALIGN().
Fix the descriptor size and while at it, enforce an overflow check after
PAGE_ALIGN().
