tracepoint: Fix use of tracepoint funcs after rcu free
Commit de7b2973 "tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints" introduces a use after free by calling release_probes on the old struct tracepoint array before the newly allocated array is published with rcu_assign_pointer. There is a race window where tracepoints (RCU readers) can perform a "use-after-grace-period-after-free", which shows up as a GPF in stress-tests.
