[ Upstream commit 859d510e58dac94f0b204b7b5cccafbc130d2291 ]

If the specified/hinted sink is not reachable from a subset of the CPUs,
we could end up unable to trace the event on those CPUs. This
is the best effort we could do until we support 1:1 configurations.
Fail gracefully in such cases avoiding a WARN_ON, which can be easily
triggered by the user on certain platforms (Arm N1SDP), with the following
trace paths :

CPU0
\
-- Funnel0 --> ETF0 -->
/ \
CPU1 \
MainFunnel
CPU2 /
\ /
-- Funnel1 --> ETF1 -->
/
CPU1

$ perf record --per-thread -e cs_etm/@ETF0/u -- <app>

could trigger the following WARNING, when the event is scheduled
on CPU2.

Even though we don't support using separate sinks for the ETMs yet (e.g,
for 1:1 configurations), we should at least honor the user's choice and
handle the limitations gracefully, by simply skipping the tracing on ETMs
which can't reach the requested sink.
