perf cs-etm: Ensure that Coresight timestamps don't go backwards

There are some edge cases around estimated timestamps that can result
in them going backwards.

One is that after a discontinuity, the last used timestamp is set to 0.
The duration of the next range is then subtracted which could result in
an earlier timestamp than the last instruction. Fix this by not
resetting the last timestamp used on a discontinuity, and make sure that
new estimated timestamps are clamped to be later than that.

Another case is that estimated timestamps could compound over time to
end up being more than the next real timestamp in the trace. Fix this by
clamping the estimates in cs_etm_decoder__do_soft_timestamp() to be no
later than it.

cs_etm_decoder__do_soft_timestamp() also updated next_cs_timestamp,
which meant that the next real timestamp was lost and not stored
anywhere. Fix that by only updating cs_timestamp for estimates and keep
next_cs_timestamp untouched.

Finally, use next_cs_timestamp to signify if a timestamp has been
received previously. Because cs_timestamp has the first range
subtracted, it could technically go to 0 which would break the logic.

Testing
=======

It can be verified that timestamps don't go backwards when tracing on a
single core with the following commands. Across multiple cores it's
expected that timestamps are interleaved:

  $ perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/k -C 4 taskset -c 4 sleep 1
  $ perf script --itrace=i1ns --ns -Fcomm,tid,pid,time,cpu,event,ip,sym,addr,symoff,flags,callindent > itrace
  $ sed 's/://g' itrace | awk -F ' ' ' { print $4 } ' | awk '{ if ($1 < prev) { print "line:" NR " " $0 } {prev=$1}}'
