[PATCH v2 09/23] coresight: trbe: Clear TRBSR status at stop sites

TRBSR_EL1 records the status of the buffer that just stopped. Clearing
it in trbe_enable_hw() postpones cleanup until another run starts. If
AUX output cannot restart, for example when AUX space is exhausted,
that clear never executes. Clear the status in arm_trbe_disable()
after disabling TRBE instead.

trbe_handle_overflow() can start the next run without calling
arm_trbe_disable(). Clear the stopped buffer's syndrome and status bits
while TRBE is disabled, before attempting the AUX restart. This also
leaves the status clean when the restart fails.
