Linus,

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. Which is why it
wasn't included in the previous pull request.

commit f447c196fe7a3a92c6396f7628020cb8d564be15

    tracing: Clean up the hwlat binding code
    
    Instead of initializing the affinity of the hwlat kthread in the thread
    itself, simply set up the initial affinity at thread creation. This
    simplifies the code.
