tracing/kprobes: unregister_trace_probe needs to be called under mutex

Comment in unregister_trace_probe() says probe_lock will be held when it
gets called. However there is a case where it might called without the
probe_lock being held. Also since we are traversing the probe_list and
deleting an element from the probe_list, probe_lock should be held.

This was first pointed in uprobes traceevent review by Frederic
Weisbecker here.  (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/12/106)
