Hmm, no, I don't like to expand stack anymore. Please allocate it
from heap.

And calling this here will not cover the trace_fprobe. 

Could you call this from traceprobe_expand_meta_args() instead of
calling it directly from trace_kprobe? Then it can be used from
fprobe_event too.

Why do you think
