Subject: latencytop: fix per task accumulator
From: Ken Chen <[email protected]>
commit 38715258aa2e8cd94bd4aafadc544e5104efd551 upstream.
Per task latencytop accumulator prematurely terminates due to erroneous
placement of latency_record_count. It should be incremented whenever a
new record is allocated instead of increment on every latencytop event.
Also fix search iterator to only search known record events instead of
blindly searching all pre-allocated space.
