perf cs-etm: Generate branch sample for CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet

CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet itself can give the info that there have a
discontinuity in the trace, this patch is to add branch sample for
CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet if it is inserted in the middle of CS_ETM_RANGE
packets; as result we can have hint for the trace discontinuity.
