trace/hwlat: Remove printk from sampling loop

hwlat has some time operation checks on the sample loop, and it is
currently using pr_err (printk) to report them. The problem is that
this can lead the system to an unresponsible state due to an overflow of
printk messages. This problem can be mitigated by writing the error
message to the trace buffer.

Remove the printk messages from the sampling loop, switching the to
messages in the trace buffer.

No functional change.
