In arm_trbe_irq_handler() function trbe_drain_and_disable_local() is
called early on before TRBE_FAULT_ACT_FATAL gets handled but for the
other case __arm_trbe_enable() - do all the code paths leading upto
present trbe_stop_and_truncate_event() would have definitely called
trbe_drain_and_disable_local() as well ? If yes, please do call out
those code paths clearly in the commit message.
Besides it might be worth adding an WARN_ON() in trbe_truncate_event()
if the TRBE has not been disabled as now being expected there.
