Steven Rostedt (VMware) 8b1fac2e73 tracing: Wait for preempt irq delay thread to execute
A bug report was posted that running the preempt irq delay module on a slow
machine, and removing it quickly could lead to the thread created by the
modlue to execute after the module is removed, and this could cause the
kernel to crash. The fix for this was to call kthread_stop() after creating
the thread to make sure it finishes before allowing the module to be
removed.

Now this caused the opposite problem on fast machines. What now happens is
the kthread_stop() can cause the kthread never to execute and the test never
to run. To fix this, add a completion and wait for the kthread to execute,
then wait for it to end.

This issue caused the ftracetest selftests to fail on the preemptirq tests.

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.
