From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <[email protected]>
When registering multiple kprobes at the same address, we leave a small
window where the kprobe hlist will not contain a reference to the
registered kprobe, leading to potentially, a system crash if the
breakpoint is hit on another processor.
Patch below changes the order of hlist updation to make sure that there
is always a reference to the kprobe at the location.
