Unfortunately, it also encapsulated a call to tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() which also takes the trace_types_lock, causing a deadlock. This happens when a module has tracepoints and has been traced. When the module is removed, the trace events module notifier will grab the trace_types_lock, do a bunch of clean ups, and also clears the buffer by calling tracing_reset_all_online_cpus. This doesn't happen often which explains why it wasn't caught right away. Commit a82274151af was marked for stable, which means this must be sent to stable too.
