[v2,0/2] tracing: Fix deadlock in hwlat tracer

Message

This patchset fixes a deadlock issue found in concurrent CPU-hotplug and
tracer-toggling testing:

Background: *test_hotplug.sh*
```
#!/bin/sh

while true
do
	echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
done
```

Test: *test_hwlat.sh*
```
#!/bin/sh

echo per-cpu > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/hwlat_detector/mode
while true
do
	echo hwlat > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
	echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
done
```

v1 -> v2:
 - The previous solution try to make the mutex obtaining in kthread_fn()
 interruptible to fix this issue. To make the logic clearer, change to
 remove the mutex_lock in this version.
