Subject: [PATCH 4.19 069/115] tracing: Fix lock inversion in trace_event_enable_tgid_record()

From: Prateek Sood <prsood@...eaurora.org>

commit 3a53acf1d9bea11b57c1f6205e3fe73f9d8a3688 upstream.

       Task T2                             Task T3
trace_options_core_write()            subsystem_open()

 mutex_lock(trace_types_lock)           mutex_lock(event_mutex)

 set_tracer_flag()

   trace_event_enable_tgid_record()       mutex_lock(trace_types_lock)

    mutex_lock(event_mutex)

This gives a circular dependency deadlock between trace_types_lock and
event_mutex. To fix this invert the usage of trace_types_lock and
event_mutex in trace_options_core_write(). This keeps the sequence of
lock usage consistent.
