tracing/osnoise: Use a cpumask to know what threads are kthreads
The start_kthread() and stop_thread() code was not always called with the
interface_lock held. This means that the kthread variable could be
unexpectedly changed causing the kthread_stop() to be called on it when it
should not have been, leading to:
while true; do
rtla timerlat top -u -q & PID=$!;
sleep 5;
kill -INT $PID;
sleep 0.001;
kill -TERM $PID;
wait $PID;
done

This is because it would mistakenly call kthread_stop() on a user space
thread making it "exit" before it actually exits.
Since kthreads are created based on global behavior, use a cpumask to know
when kthreads are running and that they need to be shutdown before
proceeding to do new work.

This was debugged by using the persistent ring buffer:

Note, locking was originally used to fix this, but that proved to cause too
many deadlocks to work around:
