The following patch seems to fix the error itself:
```
diff --git a/runtime/linux/kprobes.c b/runtime/linux/kprobes.c
index c0f4f5c0f..72f4b148e 100644
--- a/runtime/linux/kprobes.c
+++ b/runtime/linux/kprobes.c

kallsyms_on_each_symbol(stapkp_symbol_callback, &sd);
- preempt_enable();
#ifdef STAPCONF_MODULE_MUTEX
mutex_unlock(&module_mutex);

```
But it seems to effectively revert the previous commit for fixing a softlockup
in PR20735:
```
commit 58c9bd1563aece0c020d9c8da5cf8db8ef028439
Author: David Smith <dsmith@redhat.com>
Date: Thu Nov 10 09:59:16 2016 -0600
Fix PR20735 by updating kprobes.c to avoid a soft lockup.
* runtime/linux/kprobes.c: Instead of grabbing the module mutex around
calling kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), just disable/enable preemption
instead to avoid a soft lockup.
```
What should we do then?
