In etm_setup_aux(), when a user sink is obtained via coresight_get_sink_by_id(), it increments the reference count of the sink device. However, if the sink is used in path building, the path holds a reference, but the initial reference from coresight_get_sink_by_id() is not released, causing a reference count leak. We should release the initial reference after the path is built.

Found by code review.
