Subject: [PATCH] tracing: add trace_event_read_lock()


I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in
ftrace_find_event().

RCU can also protect ftrace_find_event(), but it will add
latency to kernel. So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex'
to a read/write semaphore, and adds trace_event_read_lock()
to protect ftrace_find_event().
