coresight: Fix crash when Perf and sysfs modes are used concurrently 

Partially revert the change in commit 6148652807 ("coresight: Enable
and disable helper devices adjacent to the path") which changed the bare
call from source_ops(csdev)->enable() to coresight_enable_source() for
Perf sessions. It was missed that coresight_enable_source() is
specifically for the sysfs interface, rather than being a generic call.
This interferes with the sysfs reference counting to cause the following
crash:

  $ perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/ -C 0 &
  $ echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr0/enable_sink
  $ echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/etm0/enable_source
  $ echo 0 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/etm0/enable_source

This commit linked below also fixes the issue, but has unlocked updates
to the mode which could potentially race. So until we come up with a
more complete solution that takes all locking and interaction between
both modes into account, just revert back to the old behavior for Perf.
