tracing/timerlat: Add interface_lock around clearing of kthread in stop_kthread()
The timerlat interface will get and put the task that is part of the
"kthread" field of the osn_var to keep it around until all references are
released. But here's a race in the "stop_kthread()" code that will call
put_task_struct() on the kthread if it is not a kernel thread. This can
race with the releasing of the references to that task struct and the
put_task_struct() can be called twice when it should have been called just
once.
Take the interface_lock() in stop_kthread() to synchronize this change.
But to do so, the function stop_per_cpu_kthreads() needs to change the
loop from for_each_online_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() and remove the
cpu_read_lock(), as the interface_lock can not be taken while the cpu
locks are held. The only side effect of this change is that it may do some
extra work, as the per_cpu variables of the offline CPUs would not be set
anyway, and would simply be skipped in the loop.
Remove unneeded "return;" in stop_kthread().
