Let me confirm, I meant that your current patch is correct. I just mentioned
that kprobe_busy_{begin,end} will continue use standard version because
kprobe itself handles that. Please update only the patch description and
add my ack.

If you add Steve's call graph for the explanation, it will help us to
understand what will be fixed.

Thank you,
