page_va[] is annotated __counted_by(nr_page_va), so nr_page_va must
cover an index before that element is accessed. The allocation loop
writes page_va[id] while nr_page_va is still id and increments it only
afterwards, so every write is one element past the declared count.

The store is out of bounds with respect to the annotation: a build with
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS on a toolchain that honours __counted_by
(clang >= 20.1, gcc >= 15.1) flags it as an array-index overflow.

Increment nr_page_va before writing the element it now covers. A failed
allocation then leaves the slot counted but NULL; the error path frees
it with free_page(0), which is a no-op.

I found this while reviewing Vincent's series [1].

Applies on top of Vincent's "[PATCH v2 0/3] tracing/remotes: Fix leak in
trace_remote_alloc_buffer() error path" [2], which fixes the other
issues in this function.
