6.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit bb69c912c4e8005cf1ee6c63782d2fc28838dee2 upstream.
If the --itrace option is used more than once, the options are combined, but "i" and "y" (sub-)options can be corrupted because itrace_do_parse_synth_opts() incorrectly overwrites the period type and period with default values.
For example, with:
--itrace=i0ns --itrace=e
The processing of "--itrace=e", resets the "i" period from 0 nanoseconds to the default 100 microseconds.
Fix by performing the default setting of period type and period only if "i" or "y" are present in the currently processed --itrace value.
