ftrace, kprobes: Fix a deadlock on ftrace_regex_lock
Fix a deadlock on ftrace_regex_lock which happens when setting
an enable_event trigger on dynamic kprobe event as below.
----
sh-2.05b# echo p vfs_symlink > kprobe_events
sh-2.05b# echo vfs_symlink:enable_event:kprobes:p_vfs_symlink_0 > set_ftrace_filter
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.9.0+ #35 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
sh/72 is trying to acquire lock:
(ftrace_regex_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810ba6c1>] ftrace_set_hash+0x81/0x1f0
but task is already holding lock:
(ftrace_regex_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810b7cbd>] ftrace_regex_write.isra.29.part.30+0x3d/0x220
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(ftrace_regex_lock);
lock(ftrace_regex_lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
----
To fix that, this introduces a finer regex_lock for each ftrace_ops.
ftrace_regex_lock is too big of a lock which protects all
filter/notrace_hash operations, but it doesn't need to be a global
lock after supporting multiple ftrace_ops because each ftrace_ops
has its own filter/notrace_hash.
