tracing: Wait for preempt irq delay thread to finish
Running on a slower machine, it is possible that the preempt delay kernel
thread may still be executing if the module was immediately removed after
added, and this can cause the kernel to crash as the kernel thread might be
executing after its code has been removed.
There's no reason that the caller of the code shouldn't just wait for the
delay thread to finish, as the thread can also be created by a trigger in
the sysfs code, which also has the same issues.
