Steven Rostedt (VMware) f8a79d5c7e tracepoints: Free early tracepoints after RCU is initialized
When enabling trace events via the kernel command line, I hit this warning:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 13 at kernel/rcu/srcutree.c:236 check_init_srcu_struct+0xe/0x61

 </IRQ>

The problem is that the enabling of trace events before RCU is set up will
cause SRCU to give this warning. To avoid this, add a list to store probes
that need to be freed till after RCU is initialized, and then free them
then.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
