kernel builds with -Werror=main, gcc report failed.
Avoids warnings like:
kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c:1515:8: error: ‘main’ is usually a function [-Werror=main]
Fixes: a955d7eac177 ("trace: Add timerlat tracer")

NACK!
It's a stupid warning, and likely a bug in the compiler.
There's nothing wrong with using "main" as a local variable. It will
*never* conflict with the main main. Less so in the kernel, as the
kernel doesn't even have a main!
Do not send patches to fix this "error".
Not to mention, we already went through this discussion a month ago.
