Some use cases prefer to keep collecting the trace data into the last
available window while the other windows are being offloaded instead of
stopping the trace. In this scenario, the window switch happens
automatically when the next window becomes available again.
Add an option to allow this and a sysfs attribute to enable it.

Introduces a concept of external buffers, which is a mechanism for creating
trace sinks that would receive trace data from MSC buffers and transfer it
elsewhere.
A external buffer can implement its own window allocation/deallocation if
it has to. It must provide a callback that's used to notify it when a
window fills up, so that it can then start a DMA transaction from that
window 'elsewhere'. This window remains in a 'locked' state and won't be
used for storing new trace data until the buffer 'unlocks' it with a
provided API call, at which point the window can be used again for storing
trace data.
This relies on a functional "last block" interrupt, so not all versions of
Trace Hub can use this feature, which does not reflect on existing users.

Now that we have the means to trigger a window switch for the MSU trace
store, add a sysfs file to allow triggering it from userspace.

Memory Storage Unit (MSU) is a trace output device that collects trace
data to system memory. It consists of 2 independent Memory Storage
Controllers (MSCs).
This driver provides userspace interfaces to configure in-memory tracing
parameters, such as contiguous (high-order allocation) buffer or multiblock
(scatter list) buffer mode, wrapping (data overwrite) and number and sizes
of windows in multiblock mode. Userspace can read the buffers via mmap()ing
or read()ing of the corresponding device node.
