can you try replacing the "local_read(__module_ref_addr(module, cpu))" argument
with "0" ?

Arguments with side-effects are not skipped by the jump over disabled
instrumentation. This is why we should do that part within the probe declaration
in the TRACE_EVENT macros.

But if we find out that the problem really is this argument, then it should be
fixed, because something would be wrong with it (just moving it to TRACE_EVENT
is not a proper solution).

Thanks,

Mathieu
