[PATCH v3 06/10] coresight: trbe: Fix handling of spurious interrupts

On a spurious IRQ, right now we disable the TRBE and then re-enable
it back, resetting the "buffer" pointers(i.e BASE, LIMIT and more
importantly WRITE) to the original pointers from the AUX handle.
This implies that we overwrite any trace that was written so far,
(by overwriting TRBPTR) while we should have ignored the IRQ.

This patch cleans the behavior, by only stopping the TRBE if the
IRQ was indeed raised, as we can read the TRBSR without stopping
the TRBE (Only writes to the TRBSR requires the TRBE disabled).
And also, on detecting a spurious IRQ after examining the TRBSR,
we simply re-enable the TRBE without touching the other parameters.
