bpf: avoid rcu_dereference inside bpf_event_mutex lock region
During perf event attaching/detaching bpf programs, the tp_event->prog_array change is protected by the bpf_event_mutex lock in both attaching and deteching functions. Although tp_event->prog_array is a rcu pointer, rcu_derefrence is not needed to access it since mutex lock will guarantee ordering. Verified through "make C=2" that sparse locking check still happy with the new change. Also change the label name in perf_event_{attach,detach}_bpf_prog from "out" to "unlock" to reflect the code action after the label.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
