[PATCH v7 12/13] coresight: etm3x: fix inconsistencies with sysfs configuration

The current ETM3x configuration via sysfs can lead to the following
inconsistencies:
- If a configuration is modified via sysfs while a perf session is
active, the running configuration may differ between before
a sched-out and after a subsequent sched-in.
To resolve these issues, separate the configuration into:
- active_config: the configuration applied to the current session
- config: the configuration set via sysfs
Additionally:
- Since active_config and related fields are accessed only by the local CPU
in etm_enable/disable_sysfs_smp_call() (similar to perf enable/disable),
remove the lock/unlock from the sysfs enable/disable path and
starting/dying_cpu path except when to access config fields only.
