[ Upstream commit e16ec34039c701594d55d08a5aa49ee3e1abc821 ]

Lockdep found a potential deadlock between cpu_hotplug_lock, bpf_event_mutex, and cpuctx_mutex:

Since tracepoints_mutex will be taken in tracepoint_probe_register/unregister()
there is no need to take bpf_event_mutex too.
bpf_event_mutex is protecting modifications to prog array used in kprobe/perf bpf progs.
bpf_raw_tracepoints don't need to take this mutex.
