    PR9947: move runtime cleanup out of the work queue
    
    The kernel lockdep checking found a possible deadlock if a forced rmmod
    tried to destroy _stp_work_queue at the same time that the work queue
    was unregistering tracepoints.  An unlikely scenario, but still
    possible.
    
    Now the work queue will just issue a STP_REQUEST_EXIT down to usermode,
    and usermode will echo back an STP_EXIT that triggers the actual probe
    cleanup.  This way the unregistrations are happening in exactly the same
    context as the registrations were.
