Add the "__counted_by_ptr" attribute to the buffer field of "struct
vmbus_gpadl". This allows compilers (GCC and Clang) to perform
compile-time and runtime bounds-checking when KASAN is enabled, preventing
potential out-of-bounds accesses to the GPADL buffer.

The fields "buffer" and "size" of "struct vmbus_gpadl" are assigned
exactly once, during GPADL establishment inside
"__vmbus_establish_gpadl()" in "drivers/hv/channel.c".

To ensure that the count field ("size") is initialized before the
pointer field ("buffer") is assigned, we reorder the assignments in
"__vmbus_establish_gpadl()" so that "gpadl->size" is written before
"gpadl->buffer".
