CVE-2024-26703: tracing/timerlat: Move hrtimer_init to timerlat_fd open()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tracing/timerlat: Move hrtimer_init to timerlat_fd open()

Currently, the timerlat's hrtimer is initialized at the first read of
timerlat_fd, and destroyed at close(). It works, but it causes an error
if the user program open() and close() the file without reading.

Here's an example:

 # echo NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/osnoise/options
 # echo timerlat > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer

 # cat <<EOF > ./timerlat_load.py
 # !/usr/bin/env python3

 timerlat_fd = open("/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu0/timerlat_fd", 'r')
 timerlat_fd.close();
 EOF

 # ./taskset -c 0 ./timerlat_load.py
<BOOM>
