[PATCH v2 2/4] fprobe: make fprobe_kprobe_handler recursion free

[Ze Gao]

Got it! :)

I will improve the commit message and send v3 ASAP.

BTW, which tree should I rebase those patches onto? Is that the
for-next branch of
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace.git. I saw
Jiri had troubles
applying those since these works are based on v6.4.0.

THX,
Ze
