perf arm cs-etm: Use event attributes to send sink information to kernel

The communication of sink information for a trace session doesn't work
when more than on CPU is involved in the scenario due to the static
nature of sysfs.  As such communicate the sink information to each event
by using the perf_event::attr:config2 attribute.  The information sent
to the kernel is an hash of the sink's name, which is unique in a
system.
