Subject: [PATCH v5 1/5] perf cs-etm: Swap packets for instruction samples

If use option '--itrace=iNNN' with Arm CoreSight trace data, perf tool
fails inject instruction samples; the root cause is the packets are
only swapped for branch samples and last branches but not for
instruction samples, so the new coming packets cannot be properly
handled for only synthesizing instruction samples.

To fix this issue, this patch refactors the code with a new function
cs_etm__packet_swap() which is used to swap packets and adds the
condition for instruction samples.
