That seems to do same thing on x86. Then you should do something like
the optimized_callback() on x86 as below.

static void
optimized_callback(struct optimized_kprobe *op, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
        struct kprobe_ctlblk *kcb = get_kprobe_ctlblk();
        unsigned long flags;

        local_irq_save(flags);
        if (kprobe_running()) {
                kprobes_inc_nmissed_count(&op->kp);
        } else {
                /* Save skipped registers */
                regs->ARM_pc = (unsigned long)op->kp.addr;
                regs->ARM_ORIG_r0 = ~0UL;

                __this_cpu_write(current_kprobe, &op->kp);
                kcb->kprobe_status = KPROBE_HIT_ACTIVE;
                opt_pre_handler(&op->kp, regs);
                __this_cpu_write(current_kprobe, NULL);
		op->kp.ainsn.insn_singlestep(op->kp.opcode, &op->kp.ainsn, regs);
        }
        local_irq_restore(flags);
}

Thank you,
