Not just delated_uprobe_lock, there is also uprobes_treelock (I forgot
to update the commit message to mention that). Oleg had concerns (see
[0]) with that being taken from the timer thread, so I just moved all
of the locking into deferred work callback.

I'll need to look at this more thoroughly (and hopefully Oleg will get
a chance as well), dropping lock from delayed_ref_ctr_inc() is a bit
scary, but might be ok.

But generally speaking, what's your concern with doing deferred work
in put_uprobe()? It's not a hot path by any means, worst case we'll
have maybe thousands of uprobes attached/detached.
