[PATCH v2 2/9] coresight: Fix tmc_read_unprepare_etr

At the end of the trace capture, we free the allocated memory,
resetting the drvdata->buf to NULL, to indicate that trace data
was collected and the next trace session should allocate the
memory in tmc_enable_etr_sink_sysfs.

The tmc_enable_etr_sink_sysfs, we only allocate memory if drvdata->vaddr
is not NULL (which is not performed at the end of previous session).
This can cause, drvdata->vaddr getting assigned NULL and later we do
memset() which causes a crash as below :

This patch fixes the issue by clearing the drvdata->vaddr while we free
the allocated buffer at the end of a session, so that we allocate the
memory again.
