At a first glance I wasn't sure tracepoint.c is the right
place for these.
But indeed putting those two callbacks here avoids any
dependency to the syscall tracer when someone else needs
the syscall tracepoints.

Well, I guess we can keep them there.

Looks like regfunc_mutex is only there to protect
sys_tracepoint_refcount. May be you can just make it atomic_t?

Thanks,
Frederic.
