From: Kefeng Wang <wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com>

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:935
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/5
1 lock held by swapper/5/0:
#0: ffff80001002bd90 (samples/ftrace/sample-trace-array.c:38){+.-.}-{0:0}, at: call_timer_fn+0x8/0x3e0
CPU: 5 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/5 Not tainted 5.7.0+ #8
Hardware name: QEMU QEMU Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015
Call trace:
dump_backtrace+0x0/0x1a0
show_stack+0x20/0x30
dump_stack+0xe4/0x150
___might_sleep+0x160/0x200

__ftrace_set_clr_event+0x44/0x88
trace_array_set_clr_event+0x24/0x38
mytimer_handler+0x34/0x40 [sample_trace_array]

mutex_lock() will be called in interrupt context, using workqueue to fix it.
