[Bug kprobes/4285] New: improve kretprobes BUG message


On a pre-fc7-test vmware image, I sometimes see this kernel BUG:

>From this information, one cannot tell which kprobe/kretprobe might have been
associated with the problem.  It would be helpful if any such assertion-type
messages also printed out information such as the kprobe* or kretprobe/instance
addresses, as those can be mapped back to systemtap modules (with some effort).
