Ops! concurrent bug fixing.

Dan Carpenter reported the same bug (and another problem), and I was working in
the patches... I saw yours after sending his ones:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/acd7cd6e7d56b798a298c3bc8139a390b3c4ab52.1624986368.git.bristot@redhat.com/

The patches do the same fix, but there it also:

- Made also max_noise s64 (it is snapshot of noise).
- Arranged the declarations in the inverted christmas tree.

Steven, can we merge the flags?
