Subject: [PATCH] tracing/profile: Fix profile_disable vs module_unload

If the correspoding module is unloaded before ftrace_profile_disable()
is called, event->profile_disable() won't be called, which can
cause oops:

  # insmod trace-events-sample.ko
  # perf record -f -a -e sample:foo_bar sleep 3 &
  # sleep 1
  # rmmod trace_events_sample
  # insmod trace-events-sample.ko
  OOPS!
