Douglas Raillard bb9616ba5b tracing: Ensure module defining synth event cannot be unloaded while tracing
commit 21581dd4e7ff6c07d0ab577e3c32b13a74b31522 upstream.

Currently, using synth_event_delete() will fail if the event is being
used (tracing in progress), but that is normally done in the module exit
function. At that stage, failing is problematic as returning a non-zero
status means the module will become locked (impossible to unload or
reload again).

Instead, ensure the module exit function does not get called in the
first place by increasing the module refcnt when the event is enabled.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
