This is the second revision of a patchset allowing multiple sources to select
the same sink for a session which is a prerequisite for the support of CoreSight
CPU-wide trace scenarios.

The sink ID is communicated to the kernel by way of the event's configuration
attribute (event::attr:config2).  The ID itself is an hash of the sink's name,
something that is readily available and doesn't require the addition of a new
information field in the coresight_device structure.

With this set the mechanic to communicate sink selection to the kernel via
sysfs is no longer needed and removed.

Applies cleanly and tested on 5.0-rc3.

Thanks,
Mathieu

Changes for V2:
* Addressed memory leak in etm_perf_add_symlink_sink()
* Keep track of device attribute for future removal.
* Added PMU attribure for config2.
* Fixed email address signature.

Them looks good to me,

Acme, since the majority is (4 of 7) is userspace patches, will you pick
them up once you deem that part good?
