trace/hwlat: Implement the mode config option

Browse Source 
Provides the "mode" config to the hardware latency detector. hwlatd has
two different operation modes. The default mode is the "round-robin" one,
in which a single hwlatd thread runs, migrating among the allowed CPUs in a
"round-robin" fashion. This is the current behavior.

The "none" sets the allowed cpumask for a single hwlatd thread at the
startup, but skips the round-robin, letting the scheduler handle the
migration.

In preparation to the per-cpu mode.

@ -76,8 +76,12 @@ in /sys/kernel/tracing:
- tracing_cpumask - the CPUs to move the hwlat thread across
- hwlat_detector/width - specified amount of time to spin within window (usecs)
- hwlat_detector/window - amount of time between (width) runs (usecs)
- hwlat_detector/mode - the thread mode
The hwlat detector's kernel thread will migrate across each CPU specified in
tracing_cpumask between each window. To limit the migration, either modify
tracing_cpumask, or modify the hwlat kernel thread (named [hwlatd]) CPU
affinity directly, and the migration will stop.
By default, the hwlat detector's kernel thread will migrate across each CPU
specified in cpumask at the beginning of a new window, in a round-robin
fashion. This behavior can be changed by changing the thread mode,
the available options are:
- none: do not force migration
- round-robin: migrate across each CPU specified in cpumask [default]
