Subject: [PATCH v2 35/40] tracing: Reverse the order event_mutex/trace_types_lock are taken

Change the order event_mutex and trace_types_lock are taken, to avoid
circular dependencies and lockdep spew.

Changing the order shouldn't matter to any current code, but does to
anything that takes the event_mutex first and then trace_types_lock.
This is the case when calling tracing_set_clock from inside an event
command, which already holds the event_mutex.
