[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.13 11/22] bpf: Fix deadlock between rcu_tasks_trace and event_mutex.

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 4580f4e0ebdf8dc8d506ae926b88510395a0c1d1 ]

Fix the following deadlock:
CPU A
_free_event()
  perf_kprobe_destroy()
    mutex_lock(&event_mutex)
      perf_trace_event_unreg()
        synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace()

There are several paths where _free_event() grabs event_mutex
and calls sync_rcu_tasks_trace. Above is one such case.

CPU B
bpf_prog_test_run_syscall()
  rcu_read_lock_trace()
    bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu()
      bpf_prog_load()
        bpf_tracing_func_proto()
          trace_set_clr_event()
            mutex_lock(&event_mutex)

Delegate trace_set_clr_event() to workqueue to avoid
such lock dependency.
