Thanks Steven and Paul!

The start/stop/reset operations are called from trace "core" operations. So they
are all protected/serialized by trace_types_lock (by trace/core).

So, it seems that the way to go is to remove the rcu_read_lock/unlock() from
unregister, adding a lockdep check to see if trace_types_lock is help as a bonus?
