[PATCH v2] tracing: Restore synchronize_rcu() before freeing trigger private data

Commit 61d445af0a7c ("tracing: Add bulk garbage collection of freeing
event_trigger_data") moved the kfree() of event_trigger_data to a kthread
that runs tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() before freeing. That removed
the synchronize_rcu() the trigger .free callbacks used to get implicitly and
inline from trigger_data_free().

event_hist_trigger_free(), event_hist_trigger_named_free() and
event_enable_trigger_free() free their satellite data (hist_data, cmd_ops,
enable_data) right after trigger_data_free() returns. With the synchronize
now deferred to the kthread, a concurrent tracepoint handler can still reach
that data through the list_del_rcu()'d trigger, causing a use-after-free.

The teardown must also stay synchronous for correctness: the histogram
cleanup (remove_hist_vars(), unregister_field_var_hists()) has to detach a
synthetic event from the histogram before the trigger-removal write returns.
Deferring it lets a following command race in and fail the synthetic-event
removal with -EBUSY, as caught by
tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/trigger/inter-event/trigger-synthetic-eprobe.tc.

Call synchronize_rcu() directly before freeing the satellite data instead.
