From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1a0aa991a6274161c95a844c58cfb801d681eb59 ] In kprobe_optimizer() kick_kprobe_optimizer() is called without kprobe_mutex, but this can race with other caller which is protected by kprobe_mutex. To fix that, expand kprobe_mutex protected area to protect kick_kprobe_optimizer() call.
