From: Pu Lehui <pulehui@xxxxxxxxxx> Commit ef1b808e3b7c ("bpf: Fix UAF via mismatching bpf_prog/attachment RCU flavors") resolved a possible UAF issue in uprobes that attach non-sleepable bpf prog by explicitly waiting for a tasks-trace-RCU grace period. But, in the current implementation, synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace is included within the mutex critical section, which increases the length of the critical section and may affect performance. So let's move out synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace from mutex CS.
