Subject: [PATCH] coresight: etm4x: Handle unreachable sink in perf mode

If the specified/hinted sink is not reachable from a subset of the CPUs,
we could end up unable to trace the event on those CPUs. This
is the best effort we could do until we support 1:1 configurations.
Fail gracefully in such cases avoiding a WARN_ON, which can be easily
triggered by the user on certain platforms, like :
