kprobes: Fix a double lock bug of kprobe_mutex
Fix a double locking bug caused when debug.kprobe-optimization=0. While the proc_kprobes_optimization_handler locks kprobe_mutex, wait_for_kprobe_optimizer locks it again and that causes a double lock. To fix the bug, this introduces different mutex for protecting sysctl parameter and locks it in proc_kprobes_optimization_handler. Of course, since we need to lock kprobe_mutex when touching kprobes resources, that is done in *optimize_all_kprobes(). This bug was introduced by commit ad72b3bea744 ("kprobes: fix wait_for_kprobe_optimizer()") Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Acked-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: "David S.
