Hi Andrew,

Here is a patch to fix bugs in the kretprobe-booster.

There are two bugs in the kretprobe-booster.
1) It doesn't make room for gs registers.
2) It doesn't change status of the current kprobe. This
 status will effect the fault handling.
This patch fixes these bugs and, additionally, saves
skipped registers for compatibility with the original
kretprobe.
