cs_etm__get_trace() returns an int, but it used to return etmq->buf_len
on success. That value comes from auxtrace_buffer::size, which is a
size_t. For a large AUX trace block, returning the byte count through an
int can overflow and make a valid buffer look like a negative error.
The callers do not need the actual byte count from cs_etm__get_trace().
The buffer length is already stored in the etmq->buf_len. The callers
only need to distinguish three states:
< 0: error
= 0: no more AUX buffers
> 0: data is available
Make cs_etm__get_trace() return 0 for all non-error cases and use
etmq->buf_len to indicate whether a new buffer was found. Then make
cs_etm__get_data_block() return 1 whenever data is available, instead of
returning the buffer length.
Also refactor cs_etm__get_data_block() to make its return value
semantics clearer.
