The hwlatd tracer will end up starting multiple per-cpu threads with
the following script:
#!/bin/sh
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo 0 > tracing_on
echo hwlat > current_tracer
echo per-cpu > hwlat_detector/mode
echo 100000 > hwlat_detector/width
echo 200000 > hwlat_detector/window
echo 1 > tracing_on
To fix the issue, check if the hwlatd thread for the cpu is already
running, before starting a new one. Along with the previous patch, this
avoids running multiple instances of the same CPU thread on the system.
