Yeoreum Yun 408c97c4a5 coresight: prevent deactivate active config while enabling the config
While enable active config via cscfg_csdev_enable_active_config(),
active config could be deactivated via configfs' sysfs interface.
This could make UAF issue in below scenario:

CPU0                                          CPU1
(sysfs enable)                                load module
                                              cscfg_load_config_sets()
                                              activate config. // sysfs
                                              (sys_active_cnt == 1)
...
cscfg_csdev_enable_active_config()
lock(csdev->cscfg_csdev_lock)
// here load config activate by CPU1
unlock(csdev->cscfg_csdev_lock)

                                              deactivate config // sysfs
                                              (sys_activec_cnt == 0)
                                              cscfg_unload_config_sets()
                                              unload module

// access to config_desc which freed
// while unloading module.
cscfg_csdev_enable_config

To address this, use cscfg_config_desc's active_cnt as a reference count
 which will be holded when
    - activate the config.
    - enable the activated config.
and put the module reference when config_active_cnt == 0.
