[PATCH v3 1/2] tracing: Avoid adding tracer option before update_tracer_options

From: Mark-PK Tsai
Date: Wed Mar 23 2022 - 11:23:21 EST


To prepare for support asynchronous tracer_init_tracefs initcall,
avoid calling create_trace_option_files before __update_tracer_options.
Otherwise, create_trace_option_files will show warning because
some tracers in trace_types list are already in tr->topts.

For example, hwlat_tracer call register_tracer in late_initcall,
and global_trace.dir is already created in tracing_init_dentry,
hwlat_tracer will be put into tr->topts.
Then if the __update_tracer_options is executed after hwlat_tracer
registered, create_trace_option_files find that hwlat_tracer is
already in tr->topts.
