rtla: Make stop_tracing variable volatile
The stop_tracing global variable is accessed from both the signal handler context and the main program flow without synchronization. This creates a potential race condition where compiler optimizations could cache the variable value in registers, preventing the signal handler's updates from being visible to other parts of the program. Add the volatile qualifier to stop_tracing in both common.c and common.h to ensure all accesses to this variable bypass compiler optimizations and read directly from memory. This guarantees that when the signal handler sets stop_tracing, the change is immediately visible to the main program loop, preventing potential hangs or delayed shutdown when termination signals are received.
