When tracing etm data of multiple threads on multiple cpus through perf
interface, some link devices are shared between paths of different cpus.
It creates race conditions when different cpus wants to enable/disable
the same link device at the same time.

Example 1:
Two cpus want to enable different ports of a coresight funnel, thus
calling the funnel enable operation at the same time. But the funnel
enable operation isn't reentrantable.

Example 2:
For an enabled coresight dynamic replicator with refcnt=1, one cpu wants
to disable it, while another cpu wants to enable it. Ideally we still have
an enabled replicator with refcnt=1 at the end. But in reality the result
is uncertain.

Since coresight devices claim themselves when enabled for self-hosted
usage, the race conditions above usually make the link devices not usable
after many cycles.

To fix the race conditions, this patch uses spinlocks to serialize
enabling/disabling link devices.

v3 -> v4: moved lock from coresight_enable/disable_link() to
enable/disable functions of each link device.

I also removed lock protection of csdev->enable in v3. Because that
needs to move csdev->enable inside the enable/disable functions of
each link device. That's much effort with almost no benefits.
csdev->enable seems only used for source devices in sysfs interface.

Since we now have the spinlock to protect us, we could simply do an
atomic_read() and then do the hw_enable() followed by an atomic_inc(),
if we are successful. That way we could make it more cleaner and avoid
the atomic_dec() if we encounter a failure. In fact we could simply get
away with the refcnt and replace them with a simple integer, but that
may be a different patch.

Could we not check the drvdata->reading before the refcount and bail
out early ? We are protected by the spinlock anyway. Similar to the
above case we could check the refcount and only increment when we have
enabled.
