In protected mode, transition the allocation of the simple_ring_buffer structures from the host to the hypervisor using the new pKVM heap allocator. Previously, the host allocated and donated a contiguous backing memory for these structures. In pKVM the hypervisor can now allocate them dynamically. Use the pkvm_call_hyp_req() wrapper in the host to invoke __tracing_load, which automatically handles any top-up requests if the hypervisor runs out of heap memory during allocation.
