[PATCH] coresight: trbe: Use scope-based resource management in arm_trbe_alloc_buffer()

Scope-based resource management became supported for some
programming interfaces by contributions of Peter Zijlstra on 2023-05-26.
See also the commit 54da6a0924311c7cf5015533991e44fb8eb12773 ("locking:
Introduce __cleanup() based infrastructure").

* Thus use the attribute “__free(kfree)”.

* Reduce the scopes for the local variables “buf” and “pglist”.

* Omit four kfree() calls accordingly.
