From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhira...@kernel.org> commit 1a0aa991a6274161c95a844c58cfb801d681eb59 upstream.
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.
