This is called under down_read(), so 2 threads can race with each other
and use the different rp_trampoline_vaddr's if ->rp_trampoline_vaddr was
NULL.

And again, I think ->rp_trampoline_vaddr is simply unneeded, see my
reply to 3/6.

Hmm. I didn't read this series yet. But at first glance I am not
sure prepare_uretprobe() should be called every time we see
->rp_handler != NULL, there could be multiple consumers...
