[RFC patch 05/27] Kprobes - do not use kprobes mutex in arch code

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Remove the kprobes mutex from kprobes.h, since it does not belong there. Also
remove all use of this mutex in the architecture specific code, replacing it by
a proper mutex lock/unlock in the architecture agnostic code.

Changelog :
- remove unnecessary kprobe_mutex around arch_remove_kprobe()
