tracing: fix deadlock when setting set_ftrace_pid

Impact: fix deadlock while using set_ftrace_pid

Reproducer:

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
	# echo $$ > set_ftrace_pid

	then, console becomes hung.

Details:

when writing set_ftracepid, kernel callstack is following

	ftrace_pid_write()
		mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
		ftrace_update_pid_func()
			mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
			mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock);
		mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock);

then, system always deadlocks when ftrace_pid_write() is called.

In past days, ftrace_pid_write() used ftrace_start_lock, but
commit e6ea44e9 consolidated
ftrace_start_lock to ftrace_lock.
