Agree. I hadn't considered this time window. The effects I see if I keep
ap->handler are 1) kprobe_ftrace_handler() still needs to call
aggr_post_handler() and 2) other ftrace_ops still can't set IPMODIFY on
the probe function. This doesn't seem to be a problem.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Okay. Will fix it in the next version. Thanks!
