coresight: tmc-etf: Add comment for store ordering
Since the function CS_LOCK() has contained memory barrier mb(), it
ensures the visibility of the AUX trace data before updating the
aux_head, thus it's needless to add any explicit barrier anymore.
Add comment to make clear for the barrier usage for ETF.
