[PATCH v4 01/10] coresight: configfs: Don't assume active until cscfg_mgr is set

Perf's etm_setup_aux() calls cscfg_activate_config() and dereferences
cscfg_mgr, which can be done after coresight_init() has initialized the
Perf PMU but before cscfg_init() has finished while the driver is still
loading.

Fix it by only assuming cscfg is initialized if cscfg_mgr is set.
