xentrace: fix off-by-one in calculate_tbuf_size
Commit "xentrace: reduce trace buffer size to something mfn_offset can
reach" contains an off-by-one bug. max_mfn_offset needs to be reduced by
exactly the value of t_info_first_offset.
If the system has two cpus and the number of requested trace pages is
very large, the final number of trace pages + the offset will not fit
into a short. As a result the variable offset in alloc_trace_bufs() will
wrap while allocating buffers for the second cpu. Later
share_xen_page_with_privileged_guests() will be called with a wrong page
and the ASSERT in this function triggers. If the ASSERT is ignored by
running a non-dbg hypervisor the asserts in xentrace itself trigger
because "cons" is not aligned because the very last trace page for the
second cpu is a random mfn.
Thanks to Jan for the quick analysis.
