Subject: [for-next][PATCH 08/15] tracing: Wake up waiters when tracing is disabled

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

When tracing is disabled, there's no reason that waiters should stay
waiting, wake them up, otherwise tasks get stuck when they should be
flushing the buffers.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Fixes: e30f53aad2202 ("tracing: Do not busy wait in buffer splice")
