coresight: etm4x: Add context synchronization before enabling trace

Browse source

According to the software usage PKLXF in Arm ARM (ARM DDI 0487 L.a), a
Context synchronization event is required before enabling the trace
unit.

An ISB is added to meet this requirement, particularly for guarding the
operations in the flow:

  etm4x_allow_trace()
   `> kvm_tracing_set_el1_configuration()
	`> write_sysreg_s(trfcr_while_in_guest, SYS_TRFCR_EL12)

Improved the barrier comments to provide more accurate information.
