Hi Neil,

I try to use try_then_request_module(!regitser_jprobe(...), "sctp"); I found that if
I used this, I couldn't get the ture value which returned by register_jprobe(). Is the
returned value not important? The problem("if sctp.ko doesn't exist") you had pointed out
is exist as well.

Regards.
