[PATCH v6 13/17] KVM: arm64: Allocate shared pKVM hyp stacktrace buffers

In protected nVHE mode the host cannot directly access
hypervisor memory, so we will dump the hypervisor stacktrace
to a shared buffer with the host.

The minimum size for the buffer required, assuming the min frame
size of [x29, x30] (2 * sizeof(long)), is half the combined size of
the hypervisor and overflow stacks plus an additional entry to
delimit the end of the stacktrace.

The stacktrace buffers are used later in the series to dump the
nVHE hypervisor stacktrace when using protected-mode.
