Merge tag 'trace-v4.11-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt...

Pull another tracing update from Steven Rostedt:
 "Commit 79c6f448c8b79c ("tracing: Fix hwlat kthread migration") fixed a
  bug that was caused by a race condition in initializing the hwlat
  thread. When fixing this code, I realized that it should have been
  done differently. Instead of doing the rewrite and sending that to
  stable, I just sent the above commit to fix the bug that should be
  back ported.

  This commit is on top of the quick fix commit to rewrite the code the
  way it should have been written in the first place"
