Subject[for-linus][PATCH 8/8] tracing/hwlat: Replace sched_setaffinity with set_cpus_allowed_ptr
From: Costa Shulyupin <costa.shul@redhat.com>

There is a problem with the behavior of hwlat in a container,
resulting in incorrect output. A warning message is generated:
"cpumask changed while in round-robin mode, switching to mode none",
and the tracing_cpumask is ignored. This issue arises because
the kernel thread, hwlatd, is not a part of the container, and
the function sched_setaffinity is unable to locate it using its PID.
Additionally, the task_struct of hwlatd is already known.
Ultimately, the function set_cpus_allowed_ptr achieves
the same outcome as sched_setaffinity, but employs task_struct
instead of PID.

Test case:

# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo 0 > tracing_on
# echo round-robin > hwlat_detector/mode
# echo hwlat > current_tracer
# unshare --fork --pid bash -c 'echo 1 > tracing_on'
# dmesg -c

Actual behavior:

[573502.809060] hwlat_detector: cpumask changed while in round-robin mode, switching to mode none
