I usually do the above with:

#define HWLAT_MODES \
C(NONE, "none"), \
C(ROUND_ROBIN, "round-robin")

#undef C
#define C(x,y) MODE_##x

enum {
HWLAT_MODES,
MODE_MAX
};

#undef C
#define C(x,y) y

static char *thread_mode_str[] = { HWLAT_MODES };

But this is small enough not to do this.

Probably should add:

mutex_lock(&hwlat_data.lock);

here.

And

mutex_unlock(&hwlat_data.lock);
here to prevent conflicts with the update?

Add newline here.
