Since we already lock both kprobe_mutex and text_mutex in the optimizer,
text will not be changed and the module unloading will be stopped
inside kprobes_module_callback().
The mutex_lock() has originally been introduced to avoid conflict with text modification,
at that point we didn't hold text_mutex.
But after:
f1c6ece23729 ("kprobes: Fix potential deadlock in kprobe_optimizer()")
We started holding the text_mutex and don't need the modules mutex anyway.
So remove the module_mutex locking.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
