Ensure running fprobe_exit_handler() has finished before
calling rethook_free() in the unregister_fprobe() so that caller can free
the fprobe right after unregister_fprobe().

unregister_fprobe() ensured that all running fprobe_entry/exit_handler()
have finished by calling unregister_ftrace_function() which synchronizes
RCU. But commit 5f81018753df ("fprobe: Release rethook after the ftrace_ops
is unregistered") changed to call rethook_free() after
unregister_ftrace_function(). So call rethook_stop() to make rethook
disabled before unregister_ftrace_function() and ensure it again.

Here is the possible code flow that can call the exit handler after
unregister_fprobe().

------
CPU1 CPU2
call unregister_fprobe(fp)
...
__fprobe_handler()
rethook_hook() on probed function
unregister_ftrace_function()
return from probed function
rethook hooks
find rh->handler == fprobe_exit_handler
call fprobe_exit_handler()
rethook_free():
set rh->handler = NULL;
return from unreigster_fprobe;
call fp->exit_handler() <- (*)
------

(*) At this point, the exit handler is called after returning from
unregister_fprobe().

This fixes it as following;
------
CPU1 CPU2
call unregister_fprobe()
...
rethook_stop():
set rh->handler = NULL;
__fprobe_handler()
rethook_hook() on probed function
unregister_ftrace_function()
return from probed function
rethook hooks
find rh->handler == NULL
return from rethook
rethook_free()
return from unreigster_fprobe;
------
