coresight: Fix CTI module refcount leak by making it a helper device

Browse source 
The CTI module has some hard coded refcounting code that has a leak.
For example running perf and then trying to unload it fails:

  perf record -e cs_etm// -a -- ls
  rmmod coresight_cti

  rmmod: ERROR: Module coresight_cti is in use

The coresight core already handles references of devices in use, so by
making CTI a normal helper device, we get working refcounting for free.
