kprobes: Remove unnecessary module_mutex locking from kprobe_optimizer()

Since we already lock both kprobe_mutex and text_mutex in the optimizer,
text will not be changed and the module unloading will be stopped
inside kprobes_module_callback().

The mutex_lock() has originally been introduced to avoid conflict with text modification,
at that point we didn't hold text_mutex.

But after:

  f1c6ece23729 ("kprobes: Fix potential deadlock in kprobe_optimizer()")

We started holding the text_mutex and don't need the modules mutex anyway.

So remove the module_mutex locking.

[ mingo: Amended the changelog. ]
