[PATCH 6/6] coresight: perf: Retry failed HW_ID writes

Don't set the aux_hwid_done bit when writes fail so that it can be
retried later if the ring buffer was full.

Add a second attempt on stop in case this session only has one call
to start. Otherwise there is no chance to retry and it isn't fixed by
not setting aux_hwid_done.
