lockdep reports the following deadlock scenario:
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
kworker/1:1/48 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
00000000850b5e2d (module_mutex){+.+.}, at: kprobe_optimizer+0x31/0x290
which lock already depends on the new lock.

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

---- ----
lock(module_mutex);
lock(text_mutex);
lock(module_mutex);
lock(text_mutex);
*** DEADLOCK ***
As a reproducer I've been using bcc's funccount.py
(https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/funccount.py),
for example:
# ./funccount.py '*interrupt*'
That immediately triggers the lockdep splat.
Fix by acquiring text_mutex before module_mutex in kprobe_optimizer().

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.
