rtla/timerlat_top: Stop timerlat tracer on signal

Browse Source 
commit a4dfce7559 upstream.

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.
