There could be a race between task exit and probe unregister: exit_mm() mmput() __mmput() uprobe_unregister() uprobe_clear_state() put_uprobe() delayed_uprobe_remove() delayed_uprobe_remove() put_uprobe() is calling delayed_uprobe_remove() without taking delayed_uprobe_lock and thus the race sometimes results in a kernel crash. Fix this by taking delayed_uprobe_lock before calling delayed_uprobe_remove() from put_uprobe().
