doc: coresight: correct usage for disabling idle states
In the coresight CPU debug document it suggests to use 'echo' command to set latency request to /dev/cpu_dma_latency so can disable all CPU idle states, but in fact this doesn't work. This is because when the command 'echo' exits, it releases the device node's file descriptor and the kernel release function removes the QoS constraint; finally when the command 'echo' finished there have no constraint imposed on cpu_dma_latency. This patch changes to use 'exec' to access '/dev/cpu_dma_latency', the command 'exec' can avoid the file descriptor to be closed so we can keep the constraint on cpu_dma_latency. This patch also adds the info for reference docs for PM QoS and cpuidle sysfs.
