[PATCH 3.10 273/319] tracing: Move mutex to protect against resetting of seq data

[Willy Tarreau]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1245800c0f96eb6ebb368593e251d66c01e61022 upstream.

The iter->seq can be reset outside the protection of the mutex. So can
reading of user data. Move the mutex up to the beginning of the function.

Fixes: d7350c3f45694 ("tracing/core: make the read callbacks reentrants")
