[patch 1/2] tracepoint: simplify for tracepoint using RCU

[mathieu . desnoyers]

Now, unused memory is handled by struct tp_probes.

old code use these three field to handle unused memory.
struct tracepoint_entry {
	...
	struct rcu_head rcu;
	void *oldptr;
	unsigned char rcu_pending:1;
	...
};
in this way, unused memory is handled by struct tracepoint_entry.
it bring reenter bug(it was fixed) and tracepoint.c is filled
full of ".*rcu.*" code statements. this patch remove all these.

and:
  rcu_barrier_sched() is removed.
  Do not need regain tracepoints_mutex after tracepoint_update_probes()
  several little cleanup.

Mathieu Desnoyers :
Update patch to make sure it applies correctly on top of
tracepoint-check-if-the-probe-has-been-registered.patch
