Anil S Keshavamurthy 49a2a1b83b [PATCH] kprobes: changed from using spinlock to mutex
Since Kprobes runtime exception handlers is now lock free as this code path is
now using RCU to walk through the list, there is no need for the
register/unregister{_kprobe} to use spin_{lock/unlock}_isr{save/restore}.  The
serialization during registration/unregistration is now possible using just a
mutex.

In the above process, this patch also fixes a minor memory leak for x86_64 and
powerpc.
