[PATCH v3] coresight: etm4x: Modify core-commit of cpu to avoid the overflow of HiSilicon ETM

The ETM device can't keep up with the core pipeline when cpu core
is at full speed. This may cause overflow within core and its ETM.
This is a common phenomenon on ETM devices.

On HiSilicon Hip08 platform, a specific feature is added to set
core pipeline. So commit rate can be reduced manually to avoid ETM
overflow.

Change since v1:
- add CONFIG_ETM4X_IMPDEF_FEATURE and CONFIG_ETM4X_IMPDEF_HISILICON
  to keep specific feature off platforms which don't use it.
Change since v2:
- remove some unused variable.
