For a system wide trace, the ETM device is enabled and disabled by
the perf when the session start and finish.

During the session:

- If CPU off states are not enabled, nothing will happen in idle
  threads, as no CPU PM notifier will be invoked.

- If CPU off states have been enabled, CPU PM notifier will save and
  restore ETM device context, and keep single-shot status.  This is
  same with current save/restore flow.

I don't see any issue for this.

Thanks,
Leo
