[PATCH v3] irqchip: gicv3-its: Fix memory leak in its_free_tables()

The current ITS driver has a memory leak in its_free_tables(). It
happens on tear down path of the driver when its_probe() call fails.
its_free_tables() should free the exact number of pages that have
been allocated, not just a single page as current code does.

This patch records the memory size for each ITS_BASERn at the time of
page allocation and uses the same size information when freeing pages
to fix the issue.

[v2]->[v3]:
    -use order instead of alloc_size as suggested by Thomas Gleixner in v2 comments.

[v1]->[v2]: 
    -rebase on tip of https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git/commit/?h=irq/its-fixes-4.5&id=25ffe003bdc24492204e099fca0a467641d0fe1a
    -refresh alloc_size value whenever page order changes.
