Cough... perhaps it is correct but I am still confused even we forget about
the comment ;)

OK, uprobe can have a single consumer with ->handler_session != NULL. I guess
this is because return_instance->data is "global".

So uprobe can have multiple handler_session == NULL consumers before
handler_session != NULL, but not after ?
