[RFC][PATCH 10/12] kprobes: Move locks into appropriate functions

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Break a big critical region into fine-grained pieces at
registering kprobe path. This helps us to solve circular
locking dependency when introducing ftrace-based kprobes.
