[for-next][PATCH 09/14] rtla/timerlat_top: Set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD for kernel threads

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: Tomas Glozar <tglozar@redhat.com>

When using rtla timerlat with userspace threads (-u or -U), rtla
disables the OSNOISE_WORKLOAD option in
/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/options. This option is not re-enabled in a
subsequent run with kernel-space threads, leading to rtla collecting no
results if the previous run exited abnormally:

$ rtla timerlat top -u
^\Quit (core dumped)
$ rtla timerlat top -k -d 1s
                                     Timer Latency
  0 00:00:01   |          IRQ Timer Latency (us)        |         Thread Timer Latency (us)
CPU COUNT      |      cur       min       avg       max |      cur       min       avg       max

The issue persists until OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set manually by running:
$ echo OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/options

Set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD when running rtla with kernel-space threads if
available to fix the issue.
