[PATCH 5.19 148/717] tracing: Add ioctl() to force ring buffer waiters to wake up

commit 01b2a52171735c6eea80ee2f355f32bea6c41418 upstream.

If a process is waiting on the ring buffer for data, there currently isn't
a clean way to force it to wake up. Add an ioctl call that will force any
tasks that are waiting on the trace_pipe_raw file to wake up.
