Subject: [PATCH 6.0 160/862] tracing: Wake up waiters when tracing is disabled

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

commit 2b0fd9a59b7990c161fa1cb7b79edb22847c87c2 upstream.

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")
