Kprobes and jump label were having a race between mutexes that
was fixed by reordering the jump label. But this reordering
moved the jump label mutex into a preempt disable location.

This patch does a little fiddling to move the grabbing of
the jump label mutex from inside the preempt disable section
and still keep the order correct between the mutex and the
kprobes lock.
