Alexey Kardashevskiy c8b186a8d5 tracepoint: Fix race between tracing and removing tracepoint
When executing a tracepoint, the tracepoint's func is dereferenced twice -
in __DO_TRACE() (where the returned pointer is checked) and later on in
__traceiter_##_name where the returned pointer is dereferenced without
checking which leads to races against tracepoint_removal_sync() and
crashes.

This adds a check before referencing the pointer in tracepoint_ptr_deref.

README

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.
