If, for some reason, the compiler decides to not inline this function then
you have a hunk of code which isn't marked __kprobes, but it should be.

I'd suggest that you remove all inlining from this code and add the
appropriate section markers.

Or I guess you could use __always_inline, but I'm not sure that it's really
worth the fuss and obscurity of doing that.

All kprobes-related code should be audited for this problem.
