tracing: Fix potential deadlock in cpu hotplug with osnoise

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(&amp;amp;interface_lock);

cpus_read_lock();

[DEAD LOCK]

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