tracing: add protection around open use of current_tracer
Impact: fix to possible race conditions There's some uses of current_tracer that is not protected by the trace_types_lock. There is a small chance that a sysadmin changes the tracer while the current_tracer is being referenced. If the race is hit, it is unlikely to cause any harm since the tracers are constant and are not freed. But some strang side effects may occur. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
