Subject: [PATCH RT 7/8] tracing: make preempt_lazy and migrate_disable counter smaller

4.19.106-rt45-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de>

[ Upstream commit dd430bf5ecb40f9a89679c85868826475d71de54 ]

The migrate_disable counter should not exceed 255 so it is enough to
store it in an 8bit field.
With this change we can move the `preempt_lazy_count' member into the
gap so the whole struct shrinks by 4 bytes to 12 bytes in total.
Remove the `padding' field, it is not needed.
Update the tracing fields in trace_define_common_fields() (it was
missing the preempt_lazy_count field).
