The kernel panic during the initialization of the osnoise tracer when

BTW, while this fixes this issue for osnoise and timerlat, another issue,
remains with timerlat which prevent to boot with "ftrace=timerlat" option.
It apparently related to hrtimers:

Maybe a similar initialization issue that's easily fixed, or maybe the
timerlat option should be ignoreded at boot time, as mmiotrace is.

Turns out, it's because osnoise tracer tries to access an
uninitialized osnoise_instances list in osnoise_instance_registered(),
called from osnoise_tracer_start(). Move the list initialization
before calling register_tracer().
