rtla/timerlat_hist: Stop timerlat tracer on signal
Currently, when either SIGINT from the user or SIGALRM from the duration timer is caught by rtla-timerlat, stop_tracing is set to break out of the main loop. This is not sufficient for cases where the timerlat tracer is producing more data than rtla can consume, since in that case, rtla is looping indefinitely inside tracefs_iterate_raw_events, never reaches the check of stop_tracing and hangs. In addition to setting stop_tracing, also stop the timerlat tracer on received signal (SIGINT or SIGALRM). This will stop new samples so that the existing samples may be processed and tracefs_iterate_raw_events eventually exits.
