x86, bts, ptrace: move BTS buffer allocation from ds.c into ptrace.c

Impact: restructure DS memory allocation to be done by the usage site of DS

Require pre-allocated buffers in ds.h.

Move the BTS buffer allocation for ptrace into ptrace.c.
The pointer to the allocated buffer is stored in the traced task's
task_struct together with the handle returned by ds_request_bts().

Removes memory accounting code.
