Daniel Bristot de Oliveira b5dce20025 tracing/osnoise: Add preempt and/or irq disabled options
The osnoise workload runs with preemption and IRQs enabled in such
a way as to allow all sorts of noise to disturb osnoise's execution.
hwlat tracer has a similar workload but works with irq disabled,
allowing only NMIs and the hardware to generate noise.

While thinking about adding an options file to hwlat tracer to
allow the system to panic, and other features I was thinking
to add, like having a tracepoint at each noise detection, it
came to my mind that is easier to make osnoise and also do
hardware latency detection than making hwlat "feature compatible"
with osnoise.

Other points are:
 - osnoise already has an independent cpu file.
 - osnoise has a more intuitive interface, e.g., runtime/period vs.
   window/width (and people often need help remembering what it is).
 - osnoise: tracepoints
 - osnoise stop options
 - osnoise options file itself

Moreover, the user-space side (in rtla) is simplified by reusing the
existing osnoise code.

Finally, people have been asking me about using osnoise for hw latency
detection, and I have to explain that it was sufficient but not
necessary. These options make it sufficient and necessary.

Adding a Suggested-by Clark, as he often asked me about this
possibility.
