Enabling a component via sysfs (echo 1 > enable_source), would

If there is an error in the process (e.g, sink not enabled or
the device (CPU corresponding to ETM) is not online), we never report
failure, except for leaving a message in the dmesg.

Do proper error checking for the build path and return the error.

Before:
$ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
$ echo 1 > /sys/devices/cs_etm/cpu2/enable_source
$ echo $?
0

After:
$ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
$ echo 1 > /sys/devices/cs_etm/cpu2/enable_source
-bash: echo: write error: No such device or address

This patch looks good - thanks for the fix. Due to how late we are in
the cycle I'd ask Greg to pick it up right away but there is a
(couple) of typos in my name on the CC line. Either resend another
patch with the correct spelling or remove the CC line altogether.

Sorry about that. will resend it fixed.
