tracing: Remove unneeded event_mutex lock in event_trigger_regex_release()

In event_trigger_regex_release(), the only code is:

	mutex_lock(&event_mutex);
	if (file->f_mode & FMODE_READ)
		seq_release(inode, file);
	mutex_unlock(&event_mutex);

	return 0;

There's nothing special about the file->f_mode or the seq_release() that
requires any locking. Remove the unnecessary locks.
