From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Add a pthread mutex to protect the integrity of the file descriptor saved
for writing to the trace_marker and trace_marker_raw files. This lock is
only to protect the modification of the file descriptor and does not
protect against one thread closing the descriptor and another thread
writing to it.
It is only used to make sure that the file descriptor gets opened if it is
not already opened when doing a write, to protect opening the same file
more than once, and to protect against closing the same file descriptor
more than once.
