Linus Torvalds aaecdaf922 tracing/user_events: Remove RCU lock while pinning pages
pin_user_pages_remote() can reschedule which means we cannot hold any
RCU lock while using it. Now that enablers are not exposed out to the
tracing register callbacks during fork(), there is clearly no need to
require the RCU lock as event_mutex is enough to protect changes.

Remove unneeded RCU usages when pinning pages and walking enablers with
event_mutex held. Cleanup a misleading "safe" list walk that is not
needed. During fork() duplication, remove unneeded RCU list add, since
the list is not exposed yet.

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.
