[PATCH] coresight: etm4x: Fix PID tracing when perf is run in an init PID namespace

The previous implementation limited the tracing capabilities when perf
was run in the init PID namespace, making it impossible to trace
applications in non-init PID namespaces.
This update improves the tracing process by verifying the event owner.
This allows us to determine whether the user has the necessary
permissions to trace the application.
