tracing/user_events: Remove RCU lock while pinning pages
pin_user_pages_remote() can reschedule which means we cannot hold any RCU lock while using it. Now that enablers are not exposed out to the tracing register callbacks during fork(), there is clearly no need to require the RCU lock as event_mutex is enough to protect changes. Remove unneeded RCU usages when pinning pages and walking enablers with event_mutex held. Cleanup a misleading "safe" list walk that is not needed. During fork() duplication, remove unneeded RCU list add, since the list is not exposed yet.
