This is a funny case, where I actually found the bug in the 5.15 kernel that I was using to do my cut and paste screen shots for the upcoming Embedded Fest conference I'll be giving a talk at on Friday.
I wrote this fix for 5.15 first (to continue working on my presentation), and since stable requires upstream to have the fix, I forward ported it to 5.16-rc. As 5.16 introduced changes in this code, the forward port had to do things differently, and my forward port added a bug which the fix has just been added:
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/f8132d62a2deedca1b7558028cfe72f93ad5ba2d
That fix does not need to be backported, as the origin 5.15 patch did not have that bug.
This is the original 5.15 patch I used to create the 5.16 version with, and it should also fix 5.10. Kernels before 5.7 will need a different patch, as it did not have the "no_pid" feature yet. I'll send out the fix for those kernels later.

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" rostedt@goodmis.org Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Check pid filtering when creating events
When pid filtering is activated in an instance, all of the events trace files for that instance has the PID_FILTER flag set. This determines whether or not pid filtering needs to be done on the event, otherwise the event is executed as normal.
If pid filtering is enabled when an event is created (via a dynamic event or modules), its flag is not updated to reflect the current state, and the events are not filtered properly.
