Subject: blktrace: fix unlocked registration of tracepoints

From: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>

commit a6da0024ffc19e0d47712bb5ca4fd083f76b07df upstream.

We need to ensure that tracepoints are registered and unregistered with the users of them. The existing atomic count isn't enough for that. Add a lock around the tracepoints, so we serialize access to them.

This fixes cases where we have multiple users setting up and tearing down tracepoints, like this:

since we can now run these in parallel. Ensure that the exported helpers for doing this are grabbing the queue trace mutex.
