tracing/osnoise: Add OSNOISE_WORKLOAD option

The osnoise tracer is not only a tracer, and a set of tracepoints,
but also a workload dispatcher.

In preparation for having other workloads, e.g., in user-space,
add an option to avoid dispatching the workload.

By not dispatching the workload, the osnoise: tracepoints become
generic events to measure the execution time of *any* task on Linux.

For example:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
  # cat osnoise/options
  DEFAULTS OSNOISE_WORKLOAD
  # echo NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > osnoise/options
  # cat osnoise/options
  NO_DEFAULTS NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD
  # echo osnoise > set_event
  # echo osnoise > current_tracer
  # tail -8 trace

rtla osnoise --user option.
