Series [1/3] tracing/timerlat: Notify IRQ new max latency only if stop tracing is set | expand

If print_stack and stop_tracing_us are set, and stop_tracing_us is hit
with latency higher than or equal to print_stack, print the
stack at the IRQ handler as it is useful to define the root cause for
the IRQ latency.
