Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 1/7] trace/osnoise: Rename main variable to tracer_main

From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@...nel.org>

The *main variable in start_kthread() is causing warnings in some
compilers/analyzers. Although it is not necessarily a problem, it is
not a problem changing the variable name too.

Rename the *main variable to *tracer_main.

No functional change.
