Costa Shulyupin 71c7a30442 tracing/hwlat: Replace sched_setaffinity with set_cpus_allowed_ptr
There is a problem with the behavior of hwlat in a container,
resulting in incorrect output. A warning message is generated:
"cpumask changed while in round-robin mode, switching to mode none",
and the tracing_cpumask is ignored. This issue arises because
the kernel thread, hwlatd, is not a part of the container, and
the function sched_setaffinity is unable to locate it using its PID.
Additionally, the task_struct of hwlatd is already known.
Ultimately, the function set_cpus_allowed_ptr achieves
the same outcome as sched_setaffinity, but employs task_struct
instead of PID.

Test case:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
  # echo 0 > tracing_on
  # echo round-robin > hwlat_detector/mode
  # echo hwlat > current_tracer
  # unshare --fork --pid bash -c 'echo 1 > tracing_on'
  # dmesg -c

Actual behavior:

[573502.809060] hwlat_detector: cpumask changed while in round-robin mode, switching to mode none

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
