This shouldn't need to be handled here because of the peek at the beginning. Although
it's probably harmless to do it twice, it can make deciphering the flow quite difficult.

I couldn't see the relationship between the two peeks and why they couldn't be done together
in one pass. I changed it so cs_etm__process_aux_hw_id_cb() is also called on the peek
to queue the aux records and it seemed to work. At least just opening the file and glancing.

If there is some dependency though, I don't think two passes is excessive.

This no longer works at all with piping because of this line in peek_events:

   	if (perf_data__is_pipe(session->data))
		return -1;

So we should change the warning message to an error and exit earlier:

  	if (!etm->data_queued)
		pr_warning("CS ETM warning: Coresight decode and TRBE support requires random file access.\n"
			   "Continuing with best effort decoding in piped mode.\n\n");

And then we can also remove all the now dead code and variables related to piping like:

   etm->data_queued = etm->queues.populated;
   ...

   if (!etm->data_queued) {
      ...
   }
