The current ETM3x configuration via sysfs can lead to the following
inconsistencies:

   - If a configuration is modified via sysfs while a perf session is
     active, the running configuration may differ between before
     a sched-out and after a subsequent sched-in.

To resolve these issues, separate the configuration into:

   - curr_config: the configuration applied to the current session
   - config: the configuration set via sysfs

Additionally:

   - Since curr_config and related fields are accessed only by the local CPU
     in etm_enable/disable_sysfs_smp_call() (similar to perf enable/disable),
     remove the lock/unlock from the sysfs enable/disable path and
     starting/dying_cpu path except when to access config fields only.

   - Some of sysfs interface read etm register directly. To reduce lock
     scope while the etm_enable_hw()/etm_disable_hw(), handle it via
     IPI so that registers could be read from on proper CPU.
