Hmm, I think I see the problem:

fprobe_kprobe_handler() {
kprobe_busy_begin() {
preempt_disable() {
preempt_count_add() { <-- trace
fprobe_kprobe_handler() {
[ wash, rinse, repeat, CRASH!!! ]

Either the kprobe_busy_begin() needs to use preempt_disable_notrace()
versions, or fprobe_kprobe_handle() needs a
ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() call.
