6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Alexei Starovoitov ast@kernel.org
[ Upstream commit 4580f4e0ebdf8dc8d506ae926b88510395a0c1d1 ]
Fix the following deadlock: CPU A _free_event() perf_kprobe_destroy() mutex_lock(&event_mutex) perf_trace_event_unreg() synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace()
There are several paths where _free_event() grabs event_mutex and calls sync_rcu_tasks_trace. Above is one such case.
CPU B bpf_prog_test_run_syscall() rcu_read_lock_trace() bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu() bpf_prog_load() bpf_tracing_func_proto() trace_set_clr_event() mutex_lock(&event_mutex)
Delegate trace_set_clr_event() to workqueue to avoid such lock dependency.
