kprobes: No need to unlock kprobe_insn_mutex

Remove needless kprobe_insn_mutex unlocking during safety check
in garbage collection, because if someone releases a dirty slot
during safety check (which ensures other cpus doesn't execute
all dirty slots), the safety check must be fail. So, we need to
hold the mutex while checking safety.
