Subject: [PATCH v1 2/3] coresight: tmc-etr: Use perf_output_handle::head for AUX ring buffer

When enable the Arm CoreSight PMU event, the context for AUX ring buffer
is prepared in the structure perf_output_handle, and its field "head"
points the head of the AUX ring buffer and it is updated after filling
AUX trace data into buffer.

Current code uses an extra field etr_perf_buffer::head to maintain the
header for the AUX ring buffer, thus it's not necessary and it's better
to directly perf_output_handle::head.

This patch removes the header etr_perf_buffer::head and directly used
perf_output_handle::head as the header for AUX ring buffer.

This looks good to me and could avoid any potential issues
with stale offset cached in the etr_perf_buffer.
