COLDDOWN is for auxtrace_record__snapshot_started. Once signal received,
auxtrace subsystem doesn't process following signal, until
record__read_auxtrace_snapshot finished successful. Mapping to trigger,
once the state of a trigger moves to 'TRIGGERED', there must be a state
neither RELEASED nor ERROR, which disallow triggering, but allow transiting
to RELEASED.

Will do. Thank you.
