[patch 2/2] tracepoint: introduce *_noupdate APIs. (v2)

[mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca]

[-- Attachment #1: tracepoint-introduce-noupdate-apis.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 7553 bytes --]

new APIs separate tracepoint_probe_register(),
tracepoint_probe_unregister() into 2 steps. The first step of them
is just update tracepoint_entry, not connect or disconnect.

this patch introduce tracepoint_probe_update_all() for update all.

these APIs are very useful for registering a lots of probes
but just update once only. and a very important thing is that
*_noupdate APIs do not require module_mutex.
