Hmm, it seems that an aggr probe(which wasn't optimized) was gone and child
probes were also gone, but the aggr probe was not released and on the kprobe's
hash table.

BTW, I'd like to get more information:
 - does this happen on x86-64 too?
 - does this happen on upstream kernel too?
 - what the actual version of systemtap did you use?
 - is there any C code of stap code?

I'm not sure why systemtap tries to put a probe on the "TAIL" of a function in
.init.text...
