pKVM must validate the host-provided tracing buffer descriptor.
However, if an error is found, the hypervisor would just return 0 to the
host. Fix the return value on validation failure.
While at it, rename the function to hyp_trace_desc_is_valid() and skip
validation for the nVHE mode as we trust host-provided data in that
case.

Make the hypervisor reset either the whole tracing buffer or a specific
ring-buffer, on remotes/hypervisor/trace or per_cpu/<cpu>/trace write
access.

Configure the hypervisor tracing clock with the kernel boot clock. For
tracing purposes, the boot clock is interesting: it doesn't stop on
suspend. However, it is corrected on a regular basis, which implies the
need to re-evaluate it every once in a while.

There is currently no way to inspect or log what's happening at EL2
when the nVHE or pKVM hypervisor is used. With the growing set of
features for pKVM, the need for tooling is more pressing. And tracefs,
by its reliability, versatility and support for user-space is fit for
purpose.
Add support to write into a tracefs compatible ring-buffer. There's no
way the hypervisor could log events directly into the host tracefs
ring-buffers. So instead let's use our own, where the hypervisor is the
writer and the host the reader.
