[PATCH v1 3/4] coresight: etm4x: Don't trace contextID for non-root namespace in perf mode

When runs in perf mode, the driver always enables the contextID tracing.
This can lead to confusion if the program runs in non-root PID namespace
and potentially leak kernel information.
When programs running in perf mode, this patch changes to only enable
contextID tracing for root PID namespace.
