Add an attribute for updating buffer when the AUX trace is paused. And
populate the value to the 'update_buf_on_pause' flag during the AUX
setting up.
If the AUX pause operation is attached to a PMU counter, when the
counter is overflow and if the PMU interrupt in an NMI, then AUX pause
operation will be triggered in the NMI context. On the other hand, the
per CPU sink has its own interrupt handling. Thus, there will be a race
condition between the updating buffer in NMI and sink's interrupt
handler.
To avoid the race condition, this commit disallows updating buffer on
AUX pause for the per CPU sink. Currently, this is only applied for
TRBE.
