tracing/kprobes: unregister_trace_probe needs to be called under mutex
Comment in unregister_trace_probe() says probe_lock will be held when it gets called. However there is a case where it might called without the probe_lock being held. Also since we are traversing the probe_list and deleting an element from the probe_list, probe_lock should be held. This was first pointed in uprobes traceevent review by Frederic Weisbecker here.
