[PATCH v4 5/5] coresight: trbe: Prohibit trace before disabling TRBE

When the TRBE generates an IRQ, we stop the TRBE, collect the trace
and then reprogram the TRBE with the updated buffer pointers, whenever
possible. We might also leave the TRBE disabled, if there is not
enough space left in the buffer. However, we do not touch the ETE at
all during all of this. This means the ETE is only disabled when
the event is disabled later (via irq_work). This is incorrect, as the
ETE trace is still ON without actually being captured and may be routed
to the ATB (even if it is for a short duration).

So, we move the CPU into trace prohibited state always before disabling
the TRBE, upon entering the IRQ handler. The state is restored if the
TRBE is enabled back. Otherwise the trace remains prohibited.

Since, the ETM/ETE driver now controls the TRFCR_EL1 per session, the
tracing can be restored/enabled back when the event is rescheduled
in.
