Subject: [PATCH] coresight: trbe: Defer the probe on offline CPUs

If a CPU is offline during the driver init, we could end up causing
a kernel crash trying to register the coresight device for the TRBE
instance.

e.g:

[    0.149999] coresight ete0: CPU0: ete v1.1 initialized
[    0.149999] coresight-etm4x ete_1: ETM arch init failed

Fix this by skipping the step, if we are unable to probe the CPU.
