lockdep reports the following deadlock scenario:

 WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

 kworker/1:1/48 is trying to acquire lock:
 000000008d7a62b2 (text_mutex){+.+.}, at: kprobe_optimizer+0x163/0x290

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

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 other info that might help us debug this:

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   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().
