    Fix locking imbalance in kretprobes:
    
    =====================================
    [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
    -------------------------------------
    kthreadd/2 is trying to release lock (&rp->lock) at:
    [<c06b3080>] pre_handler_kretprobe+0xea/0xf4
    but there are no more locks to release!
    
    other info that might help us debug this:
    1 lock held by kthreadd/2:
     #0:  (rcu_read_lock){..--}, at: [<c06b2b24>] __atomic_notifier_call_chain+0x0/0x5a
