Subject: [PATCH] Uprobes: Fix kernel oops with delayed_uprobe_remove()

syzbot reported a kernel crash with delayed_uprobe_remove():
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/1/1244

Backtrace mentioned in the link points to a race between process
exit and uprobe_unregister(). Fix it by locking delayed_uprobe_lock
before calling delayed_uprobe_remove() from put_uprobe().
