[PATCH] tracing/osnoise: Fix possible recursive locking for cpus_read_lock()

[Ran Xiaokai]

From: Ran Xiaokai <ran.xiao...@zte.com.cn>

Lockdep reports this deadlock log:
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
--------------------------------------------
sh/31444 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff82c51af0 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at:
stop_per_cpu_kthreads+0x7/0x60

but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff82c51af0 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at:
start_per_cpu_kthreads+0x28/0x140

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
  lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);

Call Trace:
 <TASK>
 __lock_acquire+0x1612/0x29b0
 lock_acquire+0xd0/0x2e0
 cpus_read_lock+0x49/0x120
 stop_per_cpu_kthreads+0x7/0x60
 start_kthread+0x105/0x120
 start_per_cpu_kthreads+0xdd/0x140
 osnoise_workload_start+0x261/0x2f0
 osnoise_tracer_start+0x18/0x4

In start_kthread(), when kthread_run_on_cpu() fails,
cpus_read_unlock() should be called before stop_per_cpu_kthreads(),
but both start_per_cpu_kthreads() and start_kthread() call the error
handling routine stop_per_cpu_kthreads(),
which is redundant. Only one call is necessary.
To fix this, move stop_per_cpu_kthreads() outside of start_kthread(),
use the return value of start_kthread() to determine kthread creation
error.
The same issue exists in osnoise_hotplug_workfn() too.
