tracing/osnoise: Add PANIC_ON_STOP option
Often the latency observed in a CPU is not caused by the work being done in the CPU itself, but by work done on another CPU that causes the hardware to stall all CPUs. In this case, it is interesting to know what is happening on ALL CPUs, and the best way to do this is via crash dump analysis. Add the PANIC_ON_STOP option to osnoise/timerlat tracers. The default behavior is having this option off. When enabled by the user, the system will panic after hitting a stop tracing condition. This option was motivated by a real scenario that Juri Lelli and I were debugging.
