tracing/synthetic: Fix races on freeing last_cmd

Browse source 
Currently, the "last_cmd" variable can be accessed by multiple processes
asynchronously when multiple users manipulate synthetic_events node
at the same time, it could lead to use-after-free or double-free.

This patch add "lastcmd_mutex" to prevent "last_cmd" from being accessed
asynchronously.

================================================================

It's easy to reproduce in the KASAN environment by running the two
scripts below in different shells.

script 1:
        while :
        do
                echo -n -e '\x88' > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
        done

script 2:
        while :
        do
                echo -n -e '\xb0' > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
        done

================================================================
double-free scenario:

    process A                       process B
-------------------               ---------------
1.kstrdup last_cmd
                                  2.free last_cmd
3.free last_cmd(double-free)

================================================================
use-after-free scenario:

    process A                       process B
-------------------               ---------------
1.kstrdup last_cmd
                                  2.free last_cmd
3.tracing_log_err(use-after-free)
