tracing: Fix potential deadlock in cpu hotplug with osnoise

[ Upstream commit 1f9885732248d22f788e4992c739a98c88ab8a55 ]

The following sequence may leads deadlock in cpu hotplug:

    task1        task2        task3
    -----        -----        -----

 mutex_lock(&interface_lock)

            [CPU GOING OFFLINE]

            cpus_write_lock();
            osnoise_cpu_die();
              kthread_stop(task3);
                wait_for_completion();

                      osnoise_sleep();
                        mutex_lock(&interface_lock);

 cpus_read_lock();

 [DEAD LOCK]

Fix by swap the order of cpus_read_lock() and mutex_lock(&interface_lock).
