atomic_pool_expand() creates the pgprot_decrypted() remap of the pool
pages before calling set_memory_decrypted() on them. The error path
when gen_pool_add_virt() fails does the reverse: it re-encrypts the
pages and only then tears down the decrypted remap. In both cases there
is a window where a decrypted (shared) kernel mapping points at a page
that is still private, i.e. encrypted, to the guest.
dma_direct_alloc() gets this right: it converts the pages first, then
creates the remap, and on error removes the remap before re-encrypting.
Do the same in atomic_pool_expand(). The pages are now converted before
arch_dma_prep_coherent() and the remap, and the error path unwinds in
reverse order.
If set_memory_decrypted() fails, the page state is unknown, so the
pages are still leaked rather than freed. No remap exists at that point
any more, so nothing else needs to be undone.

Fixes: 76a19940bd62 ("dma-direct: atomic allocations must come from atomic coherent pools")
