Hi Linu,

Please could you test this slightly modified version and give us
a Tested-by tag if you are happy with the results ?

When there are multiple sinks on the system, in the absence
of a specified sink, it is quite possible that a default sink
for an ETM could be different from that of another ETM. However
we do not support having multiple sinks for an event yet. This
patch allows the event to use the default sinks on the ETMs
where they are scheduled as long as the sinks are of the same
type.

e.g, if we have 1x1 topology with per-CPU ETRs, the event can
use the per-CPU ETR for the session. However, if the sinks
are of different type, e.g TMC-ETR on one and a custom sink
on another, the event will only trace on the first detected
sink.

Perf record and report worked fine with this as well, with formatting
related opencsd hacks.

Thanks Linu, much appreciated.
