Zheng Yejian 10f358cd4b tracing: Introduce pipe_cpumask to avoid race on trace_pipes
[ Upstream commit c2489bb7e6be2e8cdced12c16c42fa128403ac03 ]

There is race issue when concurrently splice_read main trace_pipe and
per_cpu trace_pipes which will result in data read out being different
from what actually writen.

As suggested by Steven:
  > I believe we should add a ref count to trace_pipe and the per_cpu

  > it had taken).
  >
  > Opening a per_cpu trace_pipe will up the ref count for just that
  > CPU buffer. This will allow multiple tasks to read different per_cpu

But because we only need to know whether per_cpu trace_pipe is open or
not, using a cpumask instead of using ref count may be easier.

After this patch, users will find that:
 - Main trace_pipe can be opened by only one user, and if it is
   opened, all per_cpu trace_pipes cannot be opened;
 - Per_cpu trace_pipes can be opened by multiple users, but each per_cpu
   trace_pipe can only be opened by one user. And if one of them is
   opened, main trace_pipe cannot be opened.
