I really hate to add this to the trace_event_file, as that is created for
every event. If there are 1853 events (that's what my machine shows), and
sizeof(struct irq_work) = 32 bytes, and sizeof(wait_queue_head_t) is 24
bytes, this ends up adding 103,768 bytes to every instance!

That's a bit of bloat.

Can we make this a global work queue, and perhaps add a flag to flags that
states there's a waiter? Then on poll wakeup, we can check if the change
happened to hist that the waiter is waiting on (which it actually already does!)

Instead of using wq_has_sleeper() we can use the event_file->flags instead.

Even if this gets woken up early, it will still not go back to user space.

I don't expect a lot of hist waiters so this should not be an issue.

I don't see an issue if we just have the hist wait queue global.
