Do we really need atomic_t? probe_event_enable/disable is called under
event_mutex and we rely on this fact anyway.

Otherwise this logic looks racy even with atomic_t, another thread could
use the uninitialized uprobe_cpu_buffer/mutex if it registers another probe
and the handler runs before we complete the initialization, no?

Oleg.
