    tracing: Remove taking of trace_types_lock in pipe files · d716ff71

    Taking the global mutex "trace_types_lock" in the trace_pipe files
    causes a bottle neck as most the pipe files can be read per cpu
    and there's no reason to serialize them.
    
    The current_trace variable was given a ref count and it can not
    change when the ref count is not zero. Opening the trace_pipe
    files will up the ref count (and decremented on close), so that
    the lock no longer needs to be taken when accessing the
    current_trace variable.
