Subject: [PATCHv2 3/4] coresight: etb10: Fix possible NULL ptr dereference in etb_enable_perf()

There was a report of NULL pointer dereference in ETF enable
path for perf CS mode with PID monitoring. It is almost 100%
reproducible when the process to monitor is something very
active such as chrome and with ETF as the sink.

But code path shows that ETB has a similar path as ETF, so
there could be possible NULL pointer dereference crash in
ETB as well. Currently in a bid to find the pid, the owner
is dereferenced via task_pid_nr() call in etb_enable_perf()
and with owner being NULL, we can get a NULL pointer
dereference, so have a similar change as ETF where we cache
PID in alloc_buffer() callback which is called as the part of
etm_setup_aux(). This will reduce the task_pid_nr() function
call overheads as well. In addition to this, add a check to
validate event->owner before dereferencing it to fix any
possible NULL pointer dereference crashes and check for
kernel events.
