Building perf with CORESIGHT=1 and the optional CSTRACE_RAW=1 enables additional debug printing of raw trace data when using command:- perf report --dump.
This raw trace prints the CoreSight formatted trace frames, which may be used to investigate suspected issues with trace quality / corruption / decode.
These frames are not present in ETE + TRBE trace. This fix removes the unnecessary call to print these frames.
This fix also rationalises implementation - original code had helper function that unnecessarily repeated initialisation calls that had already been made.
Due to an addtional fault with the OpenCSD library, this call when ETE/TRBE are being decoded will cause a segfault in perf. This fix also prevents that problem for perf using older (<= 1.8.0 version) OpenCSD libraries.

When compiling perf with CORESIGHT=1, an additional build option may be used: CSTRACE_RAW=1, which will cause the CoreSight formatted trace frames to be printed out during a perf --dump command. This is useful when investigating issues with trace generation, decode or possible data corruption.
e.g. for ETMv4 trace source into a formatted ETR sink a dump -
. ... CoreSight ETMV4I Trace data: size 0x28c150 bytes Idx:0; ID:14; I_ASYNC : Alignment Synchronisation. Idx:12; ID:14; I_TRACE_INFO : Trace Info.; INFO=0x0 { CC.0 }; Decoder Sync point TINFO Idx:17; ID:14; I_ADDR_L_64IS0 : Address, Long, 64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0x0000000000000000;
becomes with CSTRACE_RAW=1:
. ... CoreSight ETMV4I Trace data: size 0x28c150 bytes Frame Data; Index 0; ID_DATA[0x14]; 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 01 01 Idx:0; ID:14; I_ASYNC : Alignment Synchronisation. Frame Data; Index 16; ID_DATA[0x14]; 00 9d 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 85 57 08 f2 Idx:12; ID:14; I_TRACE_INFO : Trace Info.; INFO=0x0 { CC.0 }; Decoder Sync point TINFO Idx:17; ID:14; I_ADDR_L_64IS0 : Address, Long, 64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0x0000000000000000;
CSTRACE_RAW=1 has no effect on ETE + TRBE trace as there is no trace formatting in the TRBE buffer.
This patch enhances the output so that for each packet the individual bytes associated with the packet are printed.
Thus for ETMv4 this now becomes:
. ... CoreSight ETMV4I Trace data: size 0x28c150 bytes Frame Data; Index 0; ID_DATA[0x14]; 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 01 01 Idx:0; ID:14;[0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x80]; I_ASYNC : Alignment Synchronisation.

ETE trace output changes from:
Idx:0; ID:14; I_ASYNC : Alignment Synchronisation. Idx:12; ID:14; I_TRACE_INFO : Trace Info.; INFO=0x0 { CC.0, TSTATE.0 }; Decoder Sync point TINFO Idx:15; ID:14; I_ADDR_L_64IS0 : Address, Long, 64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0xFFFF80007CF7F56C; becoming:
