[PATCH] tracing/user_events: Use non-RCU context for enabler writes

[Beau Belgrave]

Currently when events are enabled/disabled a top level mm enumeration is
done in a non-RCU context, however, the enablers are still in a
RCU-context. Each enabler is updated via user_event_enabler_write() which
uses pin_user_pages_remote(). This function can reschedule and should not
be used from a RCU-context.

Use the same approach as the top level mm enumeration, which builds a
temporary list of target enablers within a RCU-context then exits. Then
use list from a non-RCU context when calling user_event_enabler_write().
