Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the th device
during output device open() on errors and on close().

Note that a recent commit fixed the leak in a couple of open() error
paths but not all of them, and the reference is still leaking on
successful open().

intel_th_output_open() calls bus_find_device_by_devt() which
internally increments the device reference count via get_device(), but
this reference is not properly released in several error paths. When
device driver is unavailable, file operations cannot be obtained, or
the driver's open method fails, the function returns without calling
put_device(), leading to a permanent device reference count leak. This
prevents the device from being properly released and could cause
resource exhaustion over time.

When the restore flow is invoked, it means no error occurred during the
save phase. Otherwise, if any errors happened while saving the context,
the function would return an error and abort the suspend sequence.

Therefore, the state_needs_restore flag is unnecessary. The save and
restore functions are changed to check two conditions:

1) The global flag pm_save_enable is SELF_HOSTED mode;
2) The device is in active mode (non DISABLED).

As recommended in section 4.3.7 "Synchronization when using the
memory-mapped interface" of ARM IHI0064H.b:

  When using the memory-mapped interface to program the trace unit, the
  trace analyzer must ensure that writes have completed, to ensure that
  the trace unit is fully programmed and either enabled or disabled.

  To ensure writes have completed, the trace analyzer can do ...

  If the memory marked is as Device-nGnRE or stronger, read back the
  value of any register in the trace unit. This relies on peripheral
  coherence order defined in the Arm architecture.

Polling TRCSTATR ensures the previous write has completed. Therefore,
removes the redundant DSB barrier in the enabling flow.

Update the comment in the disable flow for consistency.

<content type='text'>
If a CPU supports FEAT_TRF, as described in the section K5.5 "Context
switching", Arm ARM (ARM DDI 0487 L.a), it defines a flow to prohibit
program-flow trace, execute a TSB CSYNC instruction for flushing,
followed by clearing TRCPRGCTLR.EN bit.

To restore the state, the reverse sequence is required.

This differs from the procedure described in the section 3.4.1 "The
procedure when powering down the PE" of ARM IHI0064H.b, which involves
the OS Lock to prevent external debugger accesses and implicitly
disables trace.

To be compatible with different ETM versions, explicitly control trace
unit using etm4_disable_trace_unit() and etm4_enable_trace_unit()
during CPU idle to comply with FEAT_TRF.

As a result, the save states for TRFCR_ELx and trcprgctlr are redundant,
remove them.

<content type='text'>
According to the software usage PKLXF in Arm ARM (ARM DDI 0487 L.a), a
Context synchronization event is required before enabling the trace
unit.

An ISB is added to meet this requirement, particularly for guarding the
operations in the flow:

  etm4x_allow_trace()
   `&gt; kvm_tracing_set_el1_configuration()
	`&gt; write_sysreg_s(trfcr_while_in_guest, SYS_TRFCR_EL12)

Improved the barrier comments to provide more accurate information.

Since commit 4ff6039ffb79 ("coresight-etm4x: add isb() before reading
the TRCSTATR"), the code has incorrectly been polling the PMSTABLE bit
instead of the IDLE bit.

This commit corrects the typo.
