Prateek Sood 6b1340cc00 tracing: Fix race in perf_trace_buf initialization
A race condition exists while initialiazing perf_trace_buf from
perf_trace_init() and perf_kprobe_init().

      CPU0                                        CPU1
perf_trace_init()
  mutex_lock(&event_mutex)
    perf_trace_event_init()
      perf_trace_event_reg()
        total_ref_count == 0
	buf = alloc_percpu()
        perf_trace_buf[i] = buf
        tp_event->class->reg() //fails       perf_kprobe_init()
	goto fail                              perf_trace_event_init()
                                                 perf_trace_event_reg()
        fail:
	  total_ref_count == 0

                                                   total_ref_count == 0
                                                   buf = alloc_percpu()
                                                   perf_trace_buf[i] = buf
                                                   tp_event->class->reg()
                                                   total_ref_count++

          free_percpu(perf_trace_buf[i])
          perf_trace_buf[i] = NULL

Any subsequent call to perf_trace_event_reg() will observe total_ref_count > 0,
causing the perf_trace_buf to be always NULL. This can result in perf_trace_buf
getting accessed from perf_trace_buf_alloc() without being initialized. Acquiring
event_mutex in perf_kprobe_init() before calling perf_trace_event_init() should
fix this race.

The race caused the following bug:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000003106f2003c

Ramdumps showed the following:
  total_ref_count = 3
  perf_trace_buf = (
      0x0 -> NULL,
      0x0 -> NULL,
      0x0 -> NULL,
      0x0 -> NULL)
