Subject: [PATCH 2/2] coresight: etm-perf: Add AUX_NON_CONTIGUOUS_PAGES to
 cs_etm PMU

The cs_etm PMU, regardless of the underlying trace sink (ETF, ETR or
TRBE), doesn't require contiguous pages for its AUX buffer.

This patch adds the PERF_PMU_CAP_AUX_NON_CONTIGUOUS_PAGES capability
to the cs_etm PMU. This allows the kernel to allocate non-contiguous
pages for the AUX buffer, reducing memory fragmentation when using
cs_etm.
