Subject: alloc_tag: remove /proc/allocinfo outside of mod_lock
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 14:27:26 +0800

shutdown_mem_profiling() calls remove_proc_entry() from
reserve_module_tags(), which runs under mod_lock held for write. 
remove_proc_entry() waits for readers, and a reader takes mod_lock for
read in allocinfo_start():

  CPU0 (insmod)                      CPU1 (read /proc/allocinfo)
  ----------------                   ----------------------------
  reserve_module_tags()
    down_write(&mod_lock)  [held]
                                     use_pde()            [in_use++]
                                     allocinfo_start()
                                       down_read(&mod_lock)  <- blocks
    shutdown_mem_profiling()
      remove_proc_entry()
        wait for in_use == 0         <- blocks

Move remove_proc_entry() to a workqueue.
