*** DEADLOCK ***
======================================================
The bug is introduced by Commit f371b304f1 ("bpf/tracing: allow
user space to query prog array on the same tp") where copy_to_user,
which requires mm->mmap_sem, is called inside bpf_event_mutex lock.
At the same time, during perf_event file descriptor close,
mm->mmap_sem is held first and then subsequent
perf_event_detach_bpf_prog needs bpf_event_mutex lock.
Such a senario caused a deadlock.
As suggested by Daniel, moving copy_to_user out of the
bpf_event_mutex lock should fix the problem.
