Yonghong Song 07c41a295c bpf: avoid rcu_dereference inside bpf_event_mutex lock region
During perf event attaching/detaching bpf programs,
the tp_event->prog_array change is protected by the
bpf_event_mutex lock in both attaching and deteching
functions. Although tp_event->prog_array is a rcu
pointer, rcu_derefrence is not needed to access it
since mutex lock will guarantee ordering.

Verified through "make C=2" that sparse
locking check still happy with the new change.

Also change the label name in perf_event_{attach,detach}_bpf_prog
from "out" to "unlock" to reflect the code action after the label.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
