CVE-2025-21733 tracing/osnoise: Fix resetting of tracepoints
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tracing/osnoise: Fix resetting of tracepoints

If a timerlat tracer is started with the osnoise option OSNOISE_WORKLOAD
disabled, but then that option is enabled and timerlat is removed, the
tracepoints that were enabled on timerlat registration do not get
disabled. If the option is disabled again and timelat is started, then it
triggers a warning in the tracepoint code due to registering the
tracepoint again without ever disabling it.

Do not use the same user space defined options to know to disable the
tracepoints when timerlat is removed. Instead, set a global flag when it
is enabled and use that flag to know to disable the events.

 ~# echo NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/options
 ~# echo timerlat > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer
 ~# echo OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/options
 ~# echo nop > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer
 ~# echo NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/options
 ~# echo timerlat > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer
