Impact: fix deadlock while using set_ftrace_pid Reproducer: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo $$ > set_ftrace_pid then, console becomes hung. Details: when writing set_ftracepid, kernel callstack is following ftrace_pid_write() mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock); ftrace_update_pid_func() mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock); mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock); mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock); then, system always deadlocks when ftrace_pid_write() is called. In past days, ftrace_pid_write() used ftrace_start_lock, but commit e6ea44e9 consolidated ftrace_start_lock to ftrace_lock.
