4.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6575257c60e1a26a5319ccf2b5ce5b6449001017 upstream.
Commit 7496946a8 ("tracing: Add samples of DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and
DEFINE_EVENT()") added template examples for all the events. It created a
DEFINE_EVENT_FN() example which reused the foo_bar_reg and foo_bar_unreg
functions.
Enabling both the TRACE_EVENT_FN() and DEFINE_EVENT_FN() example trace
events caused the foo_bar_reg to be called twice, creating the test thread
twice. The foo_bar_unreg would remove it only once, even if it was called
multiple times, leaving a thread existing when the module is unloaded,
causing an oops.
Add a ref count and allow foo_bar_reg() and foo_bar_unreg() be called by
multiple trace events.
Fixes: 7496946a8 ("tracing: Add samples of DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT()")
