[Skiboot] [PATCH v2 08/16] core/trace: Change trace buffer size

We want to be able to mmap the trace buffers to be used by the
dump_trace tool. As mmaping is done in terms of pages it makes sense
that the size of the trace buffers should be page aligned.  This is
slightly complicated by the space taken up by the header at the
beginning of the trace and the room left for an extra trace entry at the
end of the buffer. Change the size of the buffer itself so that the
entire trace buffer size will be page aligned.

---
v2: Don't significantly change the size of the buffer.
