Fix a double locking bug caused when debug.kprobe-optimization=0. While the proc_kprobes_optimization_handler locks kprobe_mutex, wait_for_kprobe_optimizer locks it again and that causes a double lock. To fix the bug, this introduces different mutex for protecting sysctl parameter and locks it in proc_kprobes_optimization_handler. Of course, since we need to lock kprobe_mutex when touching kprobes resources, that is done in *optimize_all_kprobes().
