You're right, it should be 3.

Yeah, this is because trace_add/remove_event_call() would otherwise grab
event_mutex with synth_event_mutex held, but a hist trigger cmd which
already has the event_mutex held when called can grab the
synth_event_mutex.

Yeah, I don't see a problem here.

For the rest of the comments, will update as suggested...
