[for-next][PATCH 09/11] tracing: Fix syscall tracepoint use-after-free

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

The grace period used internally within tracepoint.c:release_probes()
uses call_rcu() to batch waiting for quiescence of old probe arrays,
rather than using the tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() which blocks
while waiting for quiescence.

With the introduction of faultable syscall tracepoints, this causes
use-after-free issues reproduced with syzkaller.

Fix this by using the appropriate call_rcu() or call_rcu_tasks_trace()
before invoking the rcu_free_old_probes callback. This can be chosen
using the tracepoint_is_faultable() API.

A similar issue exists in bpf use of call_rcu(). Fixing this is left to
a separate change.
