[PATCH v3] sample-trace-array: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context

[Kefeng Wang]

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at 
kernel/locking/mutex.c:935
 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/5
 1 lock held by swapper/5/0:
  #0: ffff80001002bd90 (samples/ftrace/sample-trace-array.c:38){+.-.}-{0:0}, 
at: call_timer_fn+0x8/0x3e0
 CPU: 5 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/5 Not tainted 5.7.0+ #8
 Hardware name: QEMU QEMU Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015
 Call trace:
  dump_backtrace+0x0/0x1a0

  trace_array_set_clr_event+0x24/0x38

mutex_lock() will be called in interrupt context, using workqueue to fix it.

Fixes: 89ed42495ef4 ("tracing: Sample module to demonstrate kernel access to 
Ftrace instances.")
