On production systems with ETMs enabled, it is preferred to
exclude kernel mode(NS EL1) tracing for security concerns and
support only userspace(NS EL0) tracing. So provide an option
via kconfig to exclude kernel mode tracing if it is required.
This config is disabled by default and would not affect the
current configuration which has both kernel and userspace
tracing enabled by default.
