Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 1/3] tracing/osnoise: Do not unregister events twice

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

Nicolas reported that using:

 # trace-cmd record -e all -M 10 -p osnoise --poll

Resulted in the following kernel warning:

 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

The warning complains about an attempt to unregister an
unregistered tracepoint.

This happens on trace-cmd because it first stops tracing, and
then switches the tracer to nop. Which is equivalent to:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
  # echo osnoise > current_tracer
  # echo 0 > tracing_on
  # echo nop > current_tracer

The osnoise tracer stops the workload when no trace instance
is actually collecting data. This can be caused both by
disabling tracing or disabling the tracer itself.

To avoid unregistering events twice, use the existing
trace_osnoise_callback_enabled variable to check if the events
(and the workload) are actually active before trying to
deactivate them.
