there possibly exists recursive deadlock about kretprobe, recycle_rp_inst() is
called with ri's hash-bucket locked, it maybe walks kfree(ri) function patch,
if kfree funciton is probed also by kretprobe.
And when kfree kretprobe is hit, it will call hash_rp_inst() function, hence
recursive deadlock will occur. This problem also exists on baseline kernel
version.
