[for-next-3.11][PATCH 4/8] tracing: Change f_start() to take event_mutex and verify i_private != NULL

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: 0004-tracing-Change-f_start-to-take-event_mutex-and-verif.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2632 bytes --]

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

trace_format_open() and trace_format_seq_ops are racy, nothing
protects ftrace_event_call from trace_remove_event_call().

Change f_start() to take event_mutex and verify i_private != NULL,
change f_stop() to drop this lock.

This fixes nothing, but now we can change debugfs_remove("format")
callers to nullify ->i_private and fix the the problem.

Note: the usage of event_mutex is sub-optimal but simple, we can
change this later.
