[ Upstream commit 12d9a9dd9d8a4f1968073e7f34515896d1e22b78 ]
Ensure that etm_perf_add_symlink_sink() is only called for devices that implement the alloc_buffer operation. This prevents invalid symlink creation for dummy sinks that do not implement alloc_buffer.
Without this check, perf may attempt to use a dummy sink that lacks alloc_buffer operationsu to initialise perf's ring buffer, leading to runtime failures.
