tracing/syscalls: protect thread flag toggling from races

Impact: fix syscall tracer enable/disable race

The current thread flag toggling is racy as shown in the following
scenario:

- task A is the last user of syscall tracing, it releases the
  TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks

- at the same time task B start syscall tracing. refcount == 0 so
  it sets up TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks.

The effect of the mixup is unpredictable.
So this fix adds a mutex on {start,stop}_syscall_tracing().
