Masami Hiramatsu 112a0e4171 kprobes: Remove unnecessary module_mutex locking from kprobe_optimizer()
Since we already lock both kprobe_mutex and text_mutex in the optimizer,
text will not be changed and the module unloading will be stopped
inside kprobes_module_callback().

The mutex_lock() has originally been introduced to avoid conflict with text modification,
at that point we didn't hold text_mutex.

But after:

  f1c6ece237 ("kprobes: Fix potential deadlock in kprobe_optimizer()")

We started holding the text_mutex and don't need the modules mutex anyway.

So remove the module_mutex locking.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
