tracing/osnoise: Allow multiple instances of the same tracer
Currently, the user can start only one instance of timerlat/osnoise tracers and the tracers cannot run in parallel. As starting point to add more flexibility, let's allow the same tracer to run on different trace instances. The workload will start when the first trace_array (instance) is registered and stop when the last instance is unregistered. So, while this patch allows the same tracer to run in multiple instances (e.g., two instances running osnoise), it still does not allow instances of timerlat and osnoise in parallel (e.g., one timerlat and osnoise). That is because the osnoise: events have different behavior depending on which tracer is enabled (osnoise or timerlat). Enabling the parallel usage of these two tracers is in my TODO list.
