Subject: [PATCH 16/21] coresight: etb10: moving to local atomic operations

Moving to use local atomic operations to take advantage of the
lockless implementation, something that will come handy when
the ETB is accessed from the Perf subsystem. Also changing the
name of the variable to something more meaningful.
