Ah, good catch! :D

Hmm, but I would not like this because there can be a time
window when it can miss an event. What about just skipping
clearing ap->post_handler in kprobe-on-ftrace case?

So here, just add; (also, don't use unlikely/likely for this case, this
depends on where the user probes, not a systematically rare case.)

if (!kprobe_ftrace(ap))
