    Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
    
     - Fix setting affinity of hwlat threads in containers
    
       Using sched_set_affinity() has unwanted side effects when being
       called within a container. Use set_cpus_allowed_ptr() instead
    
     - Fix per cpu thread management of the hwlat tracer:
        - Do not start per_cpu threads if one is already running for the CPU
        - When starting per_cpu threads, do not clear the kthread variable
          as it may already be set to running per cpu threads
    
     - Fix return value for test_gen_kprobe_cmd()
    
       On error the return value was overwritten by being set to the result
       of the call from kprobe_event_delete(), which would likely succeed,
       and thus have the function return success
    
     - Fix splice() reads from the trace file that was broken by commit
       36e2c742 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit
       ops")
    
     - Remove obsolete and confusing comment in ring_buffer.c
    
       The original design of the ring buffer used struct page flags for
       tricks to optimize, which was shortly removed due to them being
       tricks. But a comment for those tricks remained
    
     - Set local functions and variables to static
