[for-next][PATCH 12/31] tracing/osnoise: Allow arbitrarily long CPU string

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Tomas Glozar <tglozar@xxxxxxxxxx>

Allocate kernel memory for processing CPU string
(/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/cpus) also in osnoise_cpus_write to allow
the writing of a CPU string of an arbitrary length.

This replaces the 256-byte buffer, which is insufficient with the rising
number of CPUs. For example, if I wanted to measure on every even CPU
on a system with 256 CPUs, the string would be 456 characters long.
