Task T2 Task T3 trace_options_core_write() subsystem_open()

mutex_lock(trace_types_lock) mutex_lock(event_mutex)

set_tracer_flag()

trace_event_enable_tgid_record() mutex_lock(trace_types_lock)

mutex_lock(event_mutex)

This gives a circular dependency deadlock between trace_types_lock and event_mutex. To fix this invert the usage of trace_types_lock and event_mutex in trace_options_core_write(). This keeps the sequence of lock usage consistent.
