tracing: Move mutex to protect against resetting of seq data
The iter->seq can be reset outside the protection of the mutex. So can reading of user data. Move the mutex up to the beginning of the function. Fixes: d7350c3f45694 ("tracing/core: make the read callbacks reentrants") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 2.6.30+ Reported-by: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
