While analyzing the code, I discovered that there's a potential race between deleting a trace instance and setting events. There are a few races that can occur if events are being traced as the buffer is being deleted. Mostly the problem comes with freeing the descriptor used by the trace event callback. To prevent problems like this, the events are disabled before the buffer is deleted. The problem with the current solution is that the event_mutex is let go between disabling the events and freeing the files, which means that the events could be enabled again while the freeing takes place.
