Subject: [RFC PATCH V2 3/9] tracing/hwlat: Switch disable_migrate to mode none
Date:   Fri, 23 Apr 2021 23:05:38 +0200
Message-Id: <812a79bf123c44f410fa260e1129713840281b11.1619210818.git.bristot@redhat.com>

When in the round-robin mode, if the tracer detects a change in the
hwlatd thread affinity by an external tool, e.g., taskset, the
round-robin logic is disabled. The disable_migrate variable currently
tracks this.

With the addition of the "mode" config and the mode "none," the
disable_migrate logic is equivalent to switch to the "none" mode.

Hence, instead of using a hidden variable to track this behavior,
switch the mode to none, informing the user about this change.
