tracing: fix deadlock when setting set_ftrace_pid

Impact: fix deadlock while using set_ftrace_pid

Reproducer:

# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo $$ > set_ftrace_pid

then, console becomes hung.

Details:

when writing set_ftracepid, kernel callstack is following

ftrace_pid_write()
mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
ftrace_update_pid_func()
mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock);
mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock);

then, system always deadlocks when ftrace_pid_write() is called.

In past days, ftrace_pid_write() used ftrace_start_lock, but
commit e6ea44e9b4c12325337cd1c06103cd515a1c02b2 consolidated
ftrace_start_lock to ftrace_lock.
