Subject: [PATCH 1/2] coresight: cti: Initialize dynamic sysfs attributes

From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@....com>

With LOCKDEP enabled, CTI driver triggers the following splat due
to uninitialized lock class for dynamically allocated attribute
objects.

Fix this by initializing the attributes when they are allocated.
