I'm trying to figure out what the above is trying to do. This gets called
once in function_graph_enter() (or function_graph_enter_ops()). What
exactly are you trying to catch here?

Is it from this email:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231110105154.df937bf9f200a0c16806c522@kernel.org/

As that's the last version before you added the above code.

But you also noticed it may not be needed, but triggered a crash without it
in v3:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231205234511.3839128259dfec153ea7da81@kernel.org/

I removed this code in my version and it runs just fine. Perhaps there was
another bug that this was hiding that you fixed in later versions?
