[PATCH v9 20/20] coresight: sysfs: Validate CPU online status for per-CPU sources

The current SysFS flow first enables the links and sink, then rolls back
to disable them if the source fails to enable. This failure can occur if
the associated CPU is offline, which causes the SMP call to fail.

Validate whether the associated CPU is online for a per-CPU tracer.  If
the CPU is offline, return -ENODEV and bail out.
