One nit:
Here and couple of places below .. we could check for func instead of
is_ret_probe() right?
Or is there an advantage of checking is_ret_probe() over func?

Should this hunk be in the previous patch?

Also something for the future:
Most times a user uses a return probe, the user probably wants to probe
the function entry too. So should we extend the abi from p+r to
p+r+..<something else> to mean it traces both function entry and return.
Esp given that uretprobe has been elegantly been designed to make this a
possibility.
