[PATCH v13 15/28] coresight: Disable source helpers in coresight_disable_path()

coresight_enable_path() enables helpers attached to every device in
the path, including those bound to the source. However,
coresight_disable_path() skips the source node, so source helpers had
to be disabled separately in coresight_disable_source().

Move source helper disabling into coresight_disable_path() instead.
Make coresight_disable_path_from() start from the passed node nd, so
it can also disable helpers on the source. Update the comments
accordingly.

As coresight_disable_path_from() now changes its semantics from
"start beyond nd" to "start from nd", update the failure handling in
coresight_enable_path(). If enabling a node fails, iterate to the
previous node (the last successfully enabled one) and pass it to
coresight_disable_path_from() for rollback.
