Subject: [for-next][PATCH 20/34] tracing: Do a WARN_ON() if start_thread() in hwlat is called when
 thread exists

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The start function of the hwlat tracer should never be called when the hwlat
thread already exists. If it is called, do a WARN_ON().
