[PATCH v2 6/8] coresight: perf: Update buffer on AUX pause

Due to sinks like ETR and ETB don't support interrupt handling, the
hardware trace data might be lost for continuous running tasks.

This commit takes advantage of the AUX pause for updating trace buffer
to mitigate the trace data losing issue.
