[PATCH RFC 4/4] coresight: tmc: dump RAM for panic

If coresight ETB/ETF have been enabled by 'sysfs' or 'perf' modes and we
can rely on panic notifier to save all ETB RAM data into memory. Relies
on Kdump, finally the ETB RAM data can be extracted from kernel's
vmcore, so we can analyse panic reason from dumped ETB RAM data.
