Right. Is this better:
There could be a race between task exit and probe unregister:
exit_mm()
mmput()
__mmput() uprobe_unregister()
uprobe_clear_state() put_uprobe()
delayed_uprobe_remove() delayed_uprobe_remove()
put_uprobe() is calling delayed_uprobe_remove() without taking
delayed_uprobe_lock and thus the race sometimes results in a
kernel crash. Fix this by taking delayed_uprobe_lock before
calling delayed_uprobe_remove() from put_uprobe().
