[PATCH V2] tracing/timerlat: Hotplug support for the user-space interface

From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira
Date: Wed Sep 20 2023 - 11:44:51 EST


The osnoise/per_cpu/CPU$/timerlat_fd is create for each possible
CPU, but it might create confusion if the CPU is not online.

Create the file only for online CPUs, also follow hotplug by
creating and deleting as CPUs come and go.

Fixes: e88ed227f639 ("tracing/timerlat: Add user-space interface")
Signed-off-by: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changes from V1:
- Fix compilation issue when !HOTPLUG
- Fix init interface | hotplug race
