[for-linus][PATCH 3/8] trace/hwlat: Do not wipe the contents of per-cpu thread data

From: Tero Kristo <redacted>

Do not wipe the contents of the per-cpu kthread data when starting the
tracer, as this will completely forget about already running instances
and can later start new additional per-cpu threads.
