Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: Fix to protect kick_kprobe_optimizer() by
 kprobe_mutex

In kprobe_optimizer() kick_kprobe_optimizer() is called
without kprobe_mutex, but this can race with other caller
which is protected by kprobe_mutex.

To fix that, expand kprobe_mutex protected area to protect
kick_kprobe_optimizer() call.
