Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

coresight: cti: Fix hang in cti_disable_hw()

cti_enable_hw() and cti_disable_hw() are called from an atomic context
so shouldn't use runtime PM because it can result in a sleep when
communicating with firmware.

Since commit 3c6656337852 ("Revert "firmware: arm_scmi: Add clock
management to the SCMI power domain""), this causes a hang on Juno when
running the Perf Coresight tests or running this command:

perf record -e cs_etm//u -- ls

This was also missed until the revert commit because pm_runtime_put()
was called with the wrong device until commit 692c9a499b28 ("coresight:
cti: Correct the parameter for pm_runtime_put")

With lock and scheduler debugging enabled the following is output:

coresight cti_sys0: cti_enable_hw -- dev:cti_sys0 parent: 20020000.cti

Fix the issue by removing the runtime PM calls completely. They are not
needed here because it must have already been done when building the
path for a trace.
