tracing: Have hwlat trace migrate across tracing_cpumask CPUs

Instead of having the hwlat detector thread stay on one CPU, have it migrate
across all the CPUs specified by tracing_cpumask. If the user modifies the
thread's CPU affinity, the migration will stop until the next instance that
the tracer is instantiated. The migration happens at the end of each window
(period).

+The hwlat detector's kernel thread will migrate across each CPU specified in
+tracing_cpumask between each window. To limit the migration, either modify
+tracing_cpumask, or modify the hwlat kernel thread (named [hwlatd]) CPU
+affinity directly, and the migration will stop.
