Ah, that is for perf events. Yes, that is the problematic point.
Since perf's interfaces are depending on the pt_regs (especially stacktrace)
I can not remove this part. This is the next issue to be solved.
Maybe we can use partial pt_regs for stack tracing, so we can swap the order
of the patches to introduce ftrace_partial_regs() before this and use it for
perf event.

Actually, kprobe_multi is using fprobe directly, so this is not related
to bpf part.

Thank you,
