Good catch! Yes, this can fix such recursive call case because if
we put a fprobe to the exit of the "func()", recursive call happens
as below;

func() {
} => rethook
=> fprobe_exit_handler()
=> fp->exit_handler() {
func() {
} => rethook
=> fprobe_exit_handler()
=> fp->exit_handler() {
func() {
} => rethook ...

Note that this should not happen with fprobe-based events because
all the code (except for tests) under kernel/trace/ are marked
notrace automatically.

kretprobe avoids this by setting itself to current_kprobe, thus the
other kprobes recursively called from the rethook will be skipped.

Looks good to me.
